A Work of Art

Several years ago I had the great privilege of contributing to another Mural Mosaic project, this time to celebrate the Centennial of Mount Royal University and I've recently received this wonderful book that commemorates the project.  One of my pleasures as an artist is working in collaboration with other artists and working on this project was such a joy.  My painting honours the friendships that are made as a young adult pursuing further education and I remember those days well.  If not for the support of my friends in college I wouldn't have been as comfortable or as confident in my studies...and I don't think I would have pushed myself as hard to try new media and subject matter, to experiment.  I think of those days and those people fondly and often and am grateful that many are still in my life today after so many years.
