About the Artist:
For me, art is a curiosity of not knowing. It's an obsession with what if’s and how about’s? It is ideas, tangents and choices, it is intuitive, narrative, physical, fluid and the process of continual learning. I have always been fascinated with the process of sewing, how it binds things together and creates in its simplest forms. Through sewing I explore who I am, what I want to become and the infinite processes I can use to get there. I am driven by curiosity to different ways of manipulating colour, time and writing my story. I am constantly adding to my identity by researching and learning in the hopes of becoming and creating my best educator and authentic artistic self. Currently my obsession of not knowing is largely based on LGBTQ2S acceptance, discrimination, and inclusion. I am inspired by the people who live their lives unafraid to be themselves in a world that is constantly trying to pull them down. In the hopes of celebrating these people I am exploring my family’s story of becoming and struggling to understand why.

About the Artwork / Artist:
It's been 40 years since I picked up a brush. Funny how my love of Frederick Remmington and westerns has moved me towards my art through the years. When I started oil painting again, at the age of 80, I started with the comfort of westerns and my love of horses. I put some action in my pieces and loved the result. Lately though other things have interested my West Coast soul. From boats and the soft movement of the water to rusted ships resting at last. Surprisingly the Prairie boy took over and moody skies with rust colours rose from my brush. I have never had an art lesson, at least not since grade school, but have always loved making art. I got lost in family and work and let it slip away, but now I find I have more to offer not just to the viewer but to myself.
