Communicating through my art

April 26th, 2011

speaking at the Ontatio Home Economics Association Annual Conference

It’s hard to believe that 15 years ago I began my sculpture installation Home Economics a Celebration of Canadian Women in the 20th Century. What began as a personal challenge grew into a 27 foot installation exhibited in various public venues including the Hall of Honour on Parliament Hill. Though this journey I have experienced wondrous opportunities and a crashing disaster with the result that the series has developed a story of its own

My ladies have found new homes but their stories are carrying on. I have been invited to speak to various women’s groups about the history of Canadian women using my sculptures as visual tools.

With each presentation, I have researched the changes women experienced relevant to the group I’m addressing so my knowledge and perspective continues to evolve. This year alone I have given presentations to the Georgetown Canadian Federation of University Women, Halton Region Museum’s Celebrations of International Women’s Day, the Ontario Home Economics Association Annual Conference and I’m looking forward to meeting the ladies of Norval United Church Women’s Auxiliary in June.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and creativity and best of all, I continue to learn more about our Canadian history.

Studio Tour this Weekend!

September 29th, 2009

Every year I have the opportunity to mount a one man show in my gallery/studio for the Milton Studio Tour. This gives me a chance to stand back and look at my work and see where I’m going without the pressures of a jury or limited display space.

Since my work often addresses contemporary woman’s place in society, it’s fun to see how my sculptures keep coming back to that subject.

This is my latest limestone carving, Walking Woman 009, which will be on display for the first time.

If you’re in the Milton Area you can download a brochure for the tour at http://.www.fasm.ca.

Milton Area Studio Tour October 3rd & 4th, 2009

September 9th, 2009

Studio Tour is coming up again and I’m madly trying to finish some work. Last year’s tour was wall to wall people at times and I’m hoping many will return to see my progress.

I have been working on a very complicated commission this year which has required a lot of research into materials and subject matter ( like how is a double bass constructed?).  I’ve discovered the wonders of Winterstone, a cementitious product developed by Lorne Winters.  I’ve decided to document the process of creating a sculpture in Winterstone as part of my exhibit for Studio Tour.

You can download the Tour brochure here or go to www.fasm.ca
