Arctic Kaleidoscope by Michelle Valberg
Vast, isolated and challenging, the Canadian Arctic has long drawn adventurers, explorers and stout-hearted voyageurs to its wild expanses. Yet for every person who has experienced its inimitable wonders, walked its ancient terrain and come into contact with its people and wildlife, there are those who erringly think of it as a sterile, inhospitable wasteland. With Arctic Kaleidoscope: The People, Wildlife and Ever-Changing Landscape, Michelle Valberg takes that black and white impression of the North and saturates it with sweeping colour, intense texture and vibrant life. Through her photos,taken over 27 trips in five years, she has captured the Arctic - from Kugluktuk to Greenland and Resolute to Churchill - with her signature style. Visually stunning photographs of the people, places and wildlife she has encountered depict the 'true North,' truly strong, free and as it exists today. Together with commentary that offers insight into her own personal experience and gives voice to Inuit artists, cultural advocates and guides, this photographic showcase explores the Arctic from every angle. Filled with beautifully compelling full page images of the people, the wildlife and the landscape, Arctic Kaleidoscope brings the grandeur and magnificence of Canada's North to life.

Karen McClintock Launches New Lin – Spring 2013
Acclaimed Ottawa jewellery designer, Karen McClintock is already a celebrated local success story and - after last year's achievements - one of Canada's most recognized artists. The past year has been studded with new celebrity fans, a trip to the Oscars and the Toronto International Film Festival, a U.S. launch and, most recently, designing custom pieces for Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States. This spring, McClintock is changing her creative course with the launch of KM, a versatile new wardrobing jewellery collection.

Always pushing her creative boundaries, McClintock's new KM line is a fun, affordable extension of her highly-praised, luxury line of statement pieces with every piece priced under $200 dollars. While KM will still feature McClintock's signature use of semi-precious stones, it will also include drops of Czech glass and vibrant colour groupings designed to be layered, and worn together with interchangeable essentials. The line will also feature a unique, multi-tasking convertible necklace that can be worn over 10 different ways.

"Spring is a wonderful time for creativity and a fresh approach," says Karen McClintock. "KM is just that, an opportunity to take my designs into a new area of fashion. My vision for Karen McClintock jewellery has always been to create pieces that make a statement. KM pieces are complimentary rather than showpieces. They are versatile, colourful and affordable - and the final touch - to a perfect outfit."
