Opening Reception: Sat, Nov 9, 1-3 pm, features a discussion on the importance of generational legacy and capturing family histories as textile art, along with art appreciation and goodies.

Artist will be in Residence 1-3pm on Nov 3, 9, 12, 15, 20, 23, 16 & 28.

You’ll find me in the gallery working on more textile artworks and see works in process. You are welcome to come have a chat and tell me about your family history. We could plan a piece for you.

This exhibition showcases the poignant and powerful stories of seniors, residents in long-term care, and past lives.  My goal is to transform family histories into tangible artworks that give people a voice and a way to be remembered and understood.

Through visionary textile art, this exhibit transforms life stories into captivating visual narratives, creating a living tapestry of deeply meaningful memories and experiences. I have found purpose and meaning in creating commissioned art that helps connect families by encouraging new conversations that can be shared with future generations. I love how textile art can bring light to the stories of the Canadian experience through many generations.
