I find inspiration in the natural world, especially our gardens at home, Edenwilde, in historic Olde Berlin Town, Kitchener, ON. In the past 2 years when there’s been so much uncertainty, fear and anxiety, loss and change, in our world and my world, I found solace in being “grounded”; literally, connected to the earth, getting dirty, becoming one… Whenever I could, I played in dirt, till the very last day before the snow covered us.

The 2 pieces I have created for this exhibition (so thoughtfully and well chosen) speak of my faith in nature’s resilience, ability to adapt and persist, to unmask, to breathe, to move forward; that is, all of nature, humans included.

Metaphorical; art; real life!
