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

Woman's Work::Leah Cathleen

The pandemic hit like a freight train.  My business was going from strength to strength, we’d just trained a new instructor, I was in the middle of an art residency in a school and looking forward to my son’s wedding.  Wham!  The business closes overnight and I have to finish the art for the residency alone in my studio. My business was the main income for our family and it now brings in less than half of the pre-pandemic revenue.  I think everyone has a word associated with this pandemic that they’d rather not hear again.  Mine is pivot. I have pivoted so much I feel like a weather vane.
 
The good news? I feel like I’m getting back on track, my family has stayed healthy and the business is very slowly picking up steam.  The best news?  My son and his (now) wife went ahead with the wedding - with 10 people, including the bride and groom and the priest - and it was beautiful.  My first grandchild is due any day now.  Life goes on.
