Journal.

"The main focus of my work has become storytelling...
honouring the lives + stories of women
through portraiture."

In the works...

A number of years ago I was planning on taking an encaustic workshop but was informed that the media was quite toxic.  Now that I've done more research and have inherited a pile of reclaimed lumber, I thought that this might be a good time to experiment.  This piece is looking very interesting, it's a creation for the Christmas show at the Evanescence Gallery (as long as it turns out :)  I also had a wonderful weekend at the Calyx Exhibit - it is so good to be surrounded by creative friends.  The weather was absolutely beautiful - I love autumn.  And finally, our eldest daughter asked each of us in this family to write a list of favorite songs, these are mine:
    Annie's Song - John Denver
    At Last - Etta James
    Northern Girl - Terri Clark
    The English Patient - Gabriel Yared
    Our Town - Iris Dement & Emilou Harris
    Overnight - Amy Grant & Sarah Chapman
    With or Without You - U2
    Landslide - Stevie Nicks
    Ricordo Ancor (Pelagia's Song) - Stephen Warbeck & Russell Watson
    La Vie en Rose - Louis Armstrong
    Get Me Through December - Alison Krause
    Delibes: Flower Duet - Elizabeth Schwarzkopf & Jeannine Collard

These aren't in order of preference - just the songs that have 'stuck' with me, moved me, touched me in some way for whatever reason. And, I agree, can't help but love Etta - I put my children to sleep with her voice for years.
