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

Dorothy "Dee" Davis and her identical twin sister, Winnie, were born on July 22, 1914. They were the oldest of 5 children. She was born in Gladys Ridge (south of Calgary, north of Blackie and east of Aldersyde, near Okotoks). Her house is still standing. They lived in Birsay, Saskatchewan but moved to Regina soon after as my great-grandfather joined the army. He stayed in the army until 1917 and then moved the family to Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
