This started with one person, a garage, and a ridiculous idea.

We believe creativity isn't a luxury.


We believe beautiful places matter.


We believe strangers can become neighbours.


We believe adults deserve places to play.


We believe communities can build things together.


We believe art should leave the gallery.


We believe small acts of creativity can change how people feel about where they live.

So we're making it happen.

Meet Ellie

Hi,

I'm Ellie.

I'm an artist first. My work lives somewhere between nostalgia and wonder, mostly black and white, with just enough color to tell you where to look. I've spent years learning that restraint, not excess, is usually what makes something feel true.

I've always been drawn to stories that hold darkness and light side by side, and somewhere along the way, that stopped being just something I paint, and started being something I wanted to build.

Organized Squirrels is that idea, out of the studio and into the street. I am figuring it all out as I go.

That's what the next 90 days are for!

Why Now

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to work on big projects that actually change the world. Instead, I spent years playing it small. Caught up in the trap of being "realistic" and trying to fit into a mold, I bounced from one uninspiring project to the next. I hoarded knowledge, devouring endless books and courses on psychology, philosophy, business, marketing, and design, but never fully committed.

Then, during a single Masterclass, everything clicked. I realized that if I didn't go after my true purpose, nothing else would ever align.

So, here is where things stand right now: I am sitting in an uninsulated garage with zero funding, a handful of insects for company, a massive stack of knowledge, and exactly 90 days on the clock. My goal? To build a foundation that changes lives for the better. I’m going all in, and I’m inviting anyone who wants to make a real impact to join me.

Organized Squirrels is a Canadian creative organization built to make creativity accessible, sustainable, and celebrated in the Greater Moncton Area and across the world through online resources. We believe creativity is infrastructure, as essential to a healthy community as roads or parks and we exist to build the soil, the shelter, and the stage where it grows. Because every person is born an artist, and we intend to prove it.
