The Art DIrector thought it was a <br />crime that I wasn't doing my art, so even with a busy job, and young<br />children I started again. I am very grateful to him.<br /><br />XOXOXOXOXO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-51572015404455520412017-03-11T16:46:15.924-08:002017-03-11T16:46:15.924-08:00Such an exuberant, life- and love-filled drawing! ...Such an exuberant, life- and love-filled drawing! <br />laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-12998534504153473522017-03-11T11:57:05.988-08:002017-03-11T11:57:05.988-08:00Hi Catherine,

I considered drama and acted in some<br />plays, but the best teachers of all were in the English Department, so that's what<br />attracted me. Super intelligent, forces for learning about whichever authors or<br />poets they taught -- to me they were miraculous. And I was lucky to already have<br />had a love of reading, and words. <br /><br />Now I wish I'd added languages in to that, and learned more in a multitude of <br />languages. Love your work, and was excited to see it at The Artist Project.<br /><br />XOXOXOXOXO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-14549316058987039472017-03-11T05:49:58.395-08:002017-03-11T05:49:58.395-08:00Hi Barbara

With a recent computer crash and getting sick after the show, I am now just getting up to speed. Its interesting the paths we take to get where we are. I was accepted to OCAD (way back when!) but chose to take Fine Arts at the University of Alberta. I was disillusioned with the instruction and ended up with a degree in Education,<br /> majoring in French with a Minor in Art. We have both found our own path and artistic style which for me is a journey that is a continuum of discovering and learning. Its interesting to look at early work. These flowers have such a soft feel and a place in your heart, inspired by your Father. Thanks for sharing your work and words. Its always a pleasure to drop by.<br />CatherineCatherine Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461798205529014264noreply@blogger.com
