Woodland Wool: Crossing Paths

Crossing Paths

Have you ever met a couple that you knew right away were perfect soul mates? Then were absolutely shocked when they broke up, because of the most bizarre of situations... but remained apart even though it is OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE that they are meant to be!

This is the case with one of my most favourite people, Ange, and her true love Miah.

Unfortunately for us all Miah has taken comfort in his fears, and has been hiding away in a lonely, unhappy life, rather than taking a very simple first step towards unlimited happiness and bliss.

Ange and Miah's connection is so strong that both need only to think of each other and their paths will cross. I've been watching for years now in anticipation for the two paths to realign...

So Miah, PLEASE, just do it already!

Forget your fears and follow your heart, it knows the way... it always has. All the happiness you could ever want is waiting for you to reach out and grab it... and the only thing standing in your way is your own mind... so breakdown those fearful beliefs and embrace what is rightfully yours - LOVE, BLISS and UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM YOUR COMPLIMENTARY SOUL!

Life is the best present in the world, so go on, open yours up!

Working in the arts has always been in the cards for me. After a childhood filled with time spent creating using what ever materials available, it was no surprise that by the age of seven I was firmly committed to living the life of an artist as I grew up.

After attending specialized art classes as a teen, I began my post secondary education studying photography and digital imaging, before shifting my focus towards graphic design, printmaking and film studies, eventually receiving a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2003.

Upon graduation I began teaching art to elementary students, and for over two decades I have continued to work as a freelance photographer and designer, collaborating with many musicians, entrepreneurs and not-for-profit organizations.

Since relocating to the tiny community of Ellershouse over a decade ago, my artistic practice has grown to include the creation of tactile fine artworks and products that make use of natural and recycled materials. These days I primarily create using wool from local British milking sheep raised in Avondale, which I carefully hand dye prior to transforming the fibre into vibrant felted wall hangings and functional items like hats and purses.

After taking on the role of facility manager for the Avon River Heritage Society Museum in 2013, the tidal river that surrounds the historic waterfront park became an ongoing source of inspiration for my artwork, especially evident in my 2019 felted series ADAPT, my graphic print Year of the Salmon, and the corresponding installation Ghost Salmon, which was placed along Simpson's Creek in Newport Landing in June of 2019.

When I'm not working or creating I continue to pass along my skills and knowledge by leading fibre art workshops and demonstrations, and by actively volunteering with groups like the Avon River Arts Society and the Full Circle Festival, organizing cultural events and activities.
