A micro-interview with Land of Hands

a little about
Syd ‘Land Of Hands’
Fun fact, Syd was one of my first students when I moved to Winnipeg. Somehow she survived my rambling in Family Studies class. It’s honestly so cool to be able to collaborate with her now!

How long did it take you to come up with the biz name Land of Hands?

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved a pun. So when I knew I wanted to start doing nails, I started googling things that rhymed with “hands”, “nails”, “fingers”. Land of Hands just stuck.

What inspires your art lately?

One of my favourite things that happen as a nail artist is when a client comes in with a rough draft idea. Maybe they have a colour palette or patterns they like and I get to fill in the blanks. Collaborating with people to come up with a finished product is often how I work best.

Favourite thing about Winnipeg?

The art community. There’s a lot of inspiring creators here. I find the art community to be really supportive and kind. There’s always something going on event wise!

Favourite Winnipeg resto?

Parcel Pizza hands down! I’ve been there 47 times and will keep going back. Order the Electric Squirrel (delicious cocktail) and the Bovine and Wine pizza (it tastes like if French onion soup was a pizza)!
