| @pinkbananasparkles | Sometimes we like to let small businesses do the sharing. So meet Pink Banana Sparkles, a proud #lgbtq owned business from Toronto ON. I’m Shannon! I’m a queer, polyamorous single mother and under the name Pink Banana Sparkles, over the past 4 years I’ve used #colour , #whimsy , and #affirmingart pieces to cultivate a #community that #helps and #encourages others to embrace their true selves, struggles and all. My hope for every piece that I create is to help someone deal with the stresses of everyday life, with feelings of ease, comfort and understanding. Whether it’s with a piece of #art that holds deep meaning, or simply something aesthetically pleasing, it all matters and it can all make a difference. I started Pink Banana Sparkles in 2020, after I lost my job working nights at a club. My daughter was only 2 at the time, and I started making ooak Christmas ornaments. It re-ignited my love and passion for creating. Before I knew it, I was successfully selling them through the Christmas season. After that, I began to paint larger scale body portraits as I went on my own #bodylovingjourney . Then came #whimsical food-themed genitals, and handsculpted magnets. Those turned into stickers and keychains, then the swimwear and clothing collections were born. Pink Banana Sparkles is an amalgamation of everything that goes through my mind, as I embrace, navigate, and share my journeys of #parenthood , #sexuality , #bodyloving , #mentalhealth and #wellbeing , all in the hopes of it helping, or bringing #joy to others.
