“Le Belle Arti is my favourite
furniture store. Orlando Milite,
the creative force behind it, has
furnished both our Calgary and
Edmonton homes with a level of
artistry and detail that rivals the
world’s top design talents. But
beyond his impeccable eye, it’s
his warmth, humility and deep
respect for his clients that truly set
Le Belle Arti apart.”

Laura Kinghorn has to schedule relaxation.
As the vice president of the Edmonton
Chamber of Commerce, she holds a fast-
paced and demanding position that keeps
her in constant motion, fluttering between
meetings, community engagement and
public events — not to mention multiple
volunteer commitments. “If I’m not
prioritizing myself, I get sick, completely
run down and my body shuts off for me,”
she says. To avoid burnout, she makes a
nearly monthly pilgrimage to her favourite
recharging station: Bliss MediSpa.
Bliss offers a full range of premium
services with medical expertise, both
Western and Eastern, allowing clients to
enjoy pedicures, acupuncture and private
primary care all under one roof. For King-
horn, it’s the perfect blend of luxury and
self-care, especially the refreshing facial
treatments that leave her feeling ready to
show up fully for her team, community
and herself.

“Kelty Pelechytik Fine Jewellery
is vintage-inspired, handmade
and often crafted with reclaimed
gems or one-of-a-kind antique
stones. Kelty’s aesthetic blends
elegance with organic charm,
and her approach is refreshingly
low-pressure and deeply per-
sonal. Her pieces feel storied,
substantial and designed to be
worn and loved for generations.”

Indigenous Art Park ᐄᐄ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ Curated by Candice Hopkins of New York’s Forge Project, the six
artworks by Canadian Indigenous artists created specifically for this park are a gem of the river valley. Amy Malbeuf’s
iskotew is a large-scale sculpture that reads “fire” in Cree syllabics. The vibrant pink, yellow and blue colours were
inspired by the beadwork of a Métis fire bag in the Royal Alberta Museum collection. Duane Linklater’s large-scale
reproduction of a 9,000-year-old buffalo bone hide scraper also draws from the archives. The park was named one of
the 50 best international public art projects by the Americans for the Arts’ Public Art Network in 2019 and included in
the Thames & Hudson book Destination Art (Art Essentials), so I feel fortunate to be able to visit regularly.
