I am a Calgary artist seeking to be involved in artmaking that

connects people.  I look for opportunities to facilitate an

interaction of some sort.  The interactions with self, others,

time and place, and ideas give us the opportunity to become

aware of the connecting stories that are present.  We all have a

story to tell and every story has many versions.  By inviting people

to share part of their story, I hope we all gain a bit more

understanding of each other and where our stories intersect.


 

I believe that categories such as high/low, art/craft, professional/amateur, product/process need to be challenged so that EVERYONE is able to engage in artmaking and the development of their creative abilities.  Whether working with young school children, neighbours in my community or peers at the clay studio I try to value, learn and interact on multiple levels.  It doesn’t always work but I keep showing up!

 

“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.  Sing in the shower.  Dance to the radio.  Tell stories.  Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem.  Do it as well as you possibly can.  You will get an enormous reward.  You will have created something.”

 Kurt Vonnegut

 

 So let’s get to it.  Let me know what you think!
