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

The Grandmothers::Grandma Pearl

Grandma Pearl was my mom’s mom. She was my favourite grandma. She told crazy stories about taking my grandpa’s car, standing on our heads on telephone poles. She raised Birds, there were cages all over her house with nests. And then she raised Chihuahuas. She and my grandpa had the post office in Harry Hill Alberta. She made me toast fried on the wood stove and coffee with cream and sugar. It was always so much fun to stay with her. She had 23 grandchildren and she would buy the Eaton's special treasure box and give gifts to all of us. She didn’t have much money. Her Christmas tree had angel hair on it and it looked magical. Picture with the feather hat is her wedding picture. The one with the little girl is my mom and her so this would be back in 1925.
