Show Begins in

Square Foot Show began as a small, annual art party at Julia Veenstra’s studio in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada—each piece just 12×12 and at a single price. Since 2020, it has exploded into an online “Black Friday of art,” with collectors and artists spanning the globe and many artists selling out in just minutes. We love nothing more than connecting thousands of collectors from across the world with incredible artwork from artists they might never otherwise encounter, all through our fun and fast-paced virtual shows.

The fun continues with March’s show,  HER featuring Rita Vicari and a roster of 38 talented artists selected by our jury of Artists and Collectors, with each piece priced at $350 CAD / $300 USD. Held on the 2nd Thursday of each month for 24 hours, these shows bring bold, curated collections to life in an exciting and fast-paced format. We recognize that current events make multi-national events like this complicated. To help bring clarity, we’ve increased transparency around the origin of artwork and have written a brief letter on cross-border challenges.

Rita Vicari is a creative, painter and art mentor at Milan Art Institute. Born in Lipetsk, Russia, Rita moved to South Korea in her 20s where she lived for 4 years and discovered her passion for visual art before moving to the United States. Although her childhood was very happy, she and her two sisters were growing up during the 90s in a post-soviet atmosphere. In lack of much she learned how to admire simple things but it drove her desire to find or create something new and original. Her art took different forms – from poetry and dance choreography, she found her way back to painting.

As a big part of her artistic journey, Rita works as an art mentor for Milan Art Institute helping emerging artists and creators to start their professional career and find their unique voice as artists. Sharing experience and helping others has always been a big part of everything she does. She believes in community and that creatives working together can bring growth and prosperity to a society.

Rita Vicari has participated in different shows across the United States like Art Expo New York and The Other Art Fair by Saatchi Art. She had her solo exhibitions in Moscow, Russia; Seoul, South Korea and Texas, USA. Her art and story was mentioned in publication like Women United magazine, Canvas Rebel, Dallas Voyage magazine.

Rita’s work is collected across the United States as well as internationally. After a long time of traveling around the world and exploring different cultures, she is thrilled to be living and working from her studio in Art 150 art center located in Jersey City, NJ.

🇺🇸 Heather Bailey (@heatherbaileyart)  is a creative powerhouse: a professional artist, patented inventor, and mother of three. She has built a notable career in product and surface design, establishing herself as one of the top textile designers of the last two decades, with fabric collections generating millions of dollars in sales worldwide.

Her career is marked by remarkable creative and entrepreneurial success. Heather has designed a purse for the Emmy Awards, clothing for Fred Segal in Hollywood, and product collections for Target and Michaels. Her patented hair accessories have been worn by celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek, and her designs have been sold in major retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Henri Bendel, Printemps in Paris, and high-end boutiques around the world.

Heather’s work has been featured on national television, in movies, and on The Martha Stewart Show, and she has appeared on the covers of Where Women Create, Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion, and Signature Styles by Jenny Doh. Her creative influence has also drawn attention from The Today Show, Shark Tank judge Lori Greiner, and the TLC television network, reflecting the breadth and impact of her work.

Since 2017, Heather has focused her creative practice on fine-art painting, bringing decades of design experience, color mastery, and visual storytelling into her studio work. Her paintings reflect a deep understanding of composition, pattern, and emotion, offering viewers a layered, expressive exploration of beauty shaped by a lifetime of creativity.

Life near the Atlantic Ocean has offered an endless stream of inspiration to the work that 🇨🇦 Erin Hollingshead (@ehollingsheadart) creates. She loves to spend her time surfing, swimming, paddling, and walking along the coast. Her artworks reflect upon these experiences by selecting the most magical moments that connect with the water and nature has to offer. 

Erin is especially drawn to the way water moves and captures colour and light, the textures and shapes of seaweeds and shells, and the way that we connect with and find peace within the ocean. Her illustrations are typically done in ink and watercolour, paintings are typically done with oil paint, and her primary form of print is relief. She enjoys creating artworks of still lives of things she finds on the beach and in the water, all aspects of surfing and surf culture, as well as exploring ocean folklore, legends, and myths.

🇳🇱 Ellis Hollering (@ellishollering_art) is a Dutch abstract realistic artist whose artworks aim to capture the beauty and essence of life, inspiring others in the process. She believes that life consists of different layers, each perceived uniquely by individuals. Viewing art as a journey of transformation, connection, strength, and vulnerability, she appreciates that it is experienced differently in each phase of life. 

As an avid traveler, Ellis has witnessed the beauty of nature throughout the world. These travels have inspired her to create paintings that portray the connections she discovered both within nature and herself. In her art, Ellis harmoniously blends soft subtlety with powerful expressions, forging a dynamic contrast that captivates the senses. She invites viewers to observe her art from different distances, revealing abstract marks, textures, and phrases up close, and an intricate interplay from afar.

🇨🇦 Denise Livingstone (@deniselivingstoneartist) grew up in the ideal location to cultivate artistic talent: Prince Edward Island, located on the Canadian east coast.

During middle school, Denise was introduced to oil paint by a teacher who lent her a personal set to be used during lunch breaks. At 13, she presented a portfolio of her work to the director of the local art college with the request to be allowed entrance to the adult art classes, and she was permitted. Since that time, her art training has been a self-curated mix of professional artists and online courses.

Denise's artwork has a romantic, nostalgic quality with bold, graphic elements. It is both uplifting and inspiring. This effect is attained through the use of mixed media. A painting usually begins with an acrylic wash, then water-soluble materials are used to create layers and interest. Finally, details are added with oil paint.

After 25 years living in Ontario, Denise and her husband have returned to the place dear to their heart, Prince Edward Island. This place is an endless inspiration to her.
