My Craft and I

Below is a picture that I snapped, while on a paddle on Lake Simcoe a few summers ago.

That picture cried to be put on canvas...so that when the winters were cold and dreary, I could better picture myself in my craft, on a beautiful sunny day.

This is my painting.

I have entered in a Women's Art Show in Orillia, entitled "The Journey" that runs throughout the month of March. I am honoured to say that it has been chosen to be used on the brochures and pamphlets advertising this show. A book will be published that includes the paintings and stories that have been part of the show.

Entitled "My Craft and I" (thanks dad!) this is my story...

“To strive…to seek... to find…and not to yield." At a time in my life when I was mourning the loss of my dear friend, Kitty, I discovered “Paddle to a Cure – Journeys of Hope,” a sea-kayaking expedition that in five years, raised close to one million dollars for Breast Cancer Research. I participated, and not only discovered a love of kayaking, but also a way to channel my grief to benefit others.
