in Art Education from the University of Alberta and a M.Ed. in Art Education
from the University of British Columbia. I have also taken summer courses at
Emily Carr in viscosity etching and paper-making. Maiwa courses were a great
resource for learning to dye fabric, silk painting and batik. I taught for
three years and then moved to London, England to do an extra year’s study at
Goldsmith’s College, University of London where I met my husband, Leonard We
opened a pottery studio in an historic coach house across from Greenwich Park.
Our son, Avrom was born two years later. When he was 11 months old, my mother
had moved to Vancouver and persuaded us to return to Canada, because of all the
‘opportunities for artists.’ Hah!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I
began teaching again and had absolutely no time or energy for my art. Twelve
years later I enrolled in an art class at UBC with a wonderful<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>artist, Dick Bond, and those early skills
came back, better than ever. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Default" style="margin-top: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUATUi7lT8ksk19qFv_0nQpllahVQ7ieatHSw8gDc-PKEY2V70MjkD_qt75c2L56veSKoWt5im7pqD7FM4JMhyFrGaR60dZrcEwTb-CaQQ7JdYWf9RsQU1xrvwhuhxnBm1Zmi5VXvLf50/s1825/Donna2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1427" data-original-width="1825" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUATUi7lT8ksk19qFv_0nQpllahVQ7ieatHSw8gDc-PKEY2V70MjkD_qt75c2L56veSKoWt5im7pqD7FM4JMhyFrGaR60dZrcEwTb-CaQQ7JdYWf9RsQU1xrvwhuhxnBm1Zmi5VXvLf50/w400-h313/Donna2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

early retirement, we wanted to open a B&B on the Gulf Islands as Len had
completed his chef’s training and hospitality courses. That way we could also
have our art studios to use in the off-season. Saturna was the island that
resonated most. We planned to find a fixer-upper but nothing was available, so
instead of following sage advice to downsize, we built our six bedroom, five
bathroom B&B home. Now really being retired, we wondered what on earth we
were thinking.</span></p>

<p class="Default" style="margin-top: 0in;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">I was raised
by a single mother, at least between two marriages, who always bought me
quality art materials because she knew I’d keep myself busy for hours. We
returned from San Francisco, after many moves, to Vegreville, Alberta so my
step-father could manage my grandfather’s hotel. I enrolled in an adult art
class, at age 11, where, Laura Reid, a well-known Alberta artist, encouraged my
foray into art creating watercolour landscapes.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p>

<p class="Default" style="margin-top: 0in;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">My early
training was in drawing and painting. I then explored etching, and intaglio
printing using different grounds, zinc plates, solvent and nitric acid. I used
to work towards a summer show each year, of my etchings, at Dundarave Print
Co-op on Granville Island. I certainly didn’t want to use those toxic materials
on Saturna, so when an opportunity to learn quilting with Lynne Piper arose, it
seemed a perfect opportunity to explore fabric. I was terrible at trying to do
precise piecing so it was more rewarding to transition to my own images. There
are so many processes to use with fabric: appliqué, dyeing, piecing, batik,
painting, hand embroidery and endless variations of machine stitching. I
especially like the freedom from rules so one can keep experimenting and
exploring possibilities. I still have my etching press though, so maybe someday
I’ll use it with fabric.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Default" style="margin-top: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIUucO2AjA0Nc4sHayC_8GR4Dep1JAHfan5d7C93FKGsmja_LrYWmZQ2RcLFvaelT1h-2IcvHIptQVS4a390buEdxhe-OfAKBHEG50NcxZeZA7VVCCZnLTUpmzmMJOubDCczleyV0BzM/s1850/Donna3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1422" data-original-width="1850" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIUucO2AjA0Nc4sHayC_8GR4Dep1JAHfan5d7C93FKGsmja_LrYWmZQ2RcLFvaelT1h-2IcvHIptQVS4a390buEdxhe-OfAKBHEG50NcxZeZA7VVCCZnLTUpmzmMJOubDCczleyV0BzM/w400-h308/Donna3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><b>Your new show just
started a few days ago, how do you feel about that?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">As my very first solo
show, I was terrified and yet afterwards, really pleased with myself for having
put my artwork and name out there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
a big job to get ready for a show including planning and hanging it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because I was exhibiting more than just
prints on a wall, I had to work carefully with Priscilla and her staff and they
allowed me to use the table for more displays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Staging a show is a challenge in a working café, and am grateful for the
help of Nettie, Joyce and Carol.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><b>Why fibre arts?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I love working with
textures, I love the feel when I spin wool, and it makes me feel good
manipulating wool into felt. Bright colours and combining unlikely textures are
always fun to work with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed
learning about the different kinds of sheep and their coats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favourite wool to spin is Lincoln and it
comes naturally in lovely silver and grey tones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also takes dyes very nicely. My beginning
spun wool had plenty of lumps and bumps, which I always appreciated because of
the texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have since developed
great skill in spinning and have taken up knitting as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have woven lots of ‘rag’ rugs and also very
fine, precise pieces, like the vest hanging in the show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At university, I even had an opportunity to
work with a computerized loom, and a large-scale production machine for
handmade paper fibre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also
experimented with dyeing silk with paper fibres and saw how the dye was taken
up much stronger (and brighter) by the silk fibres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It made a really lovely contrast that worked
well together.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><b>Why fish?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I have always enjoyed
the ocean, and I kayak regularly and look for fish beneath the water.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I wanted to make
something different, something whimsical, something playful, something bright
with their own personalities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mobile
fish continue to intrigue me when hanging in my own space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They always seem to have a bit of movement
with the air currents and it changes the physical space where they hang because
of the movement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some people have hung
the fish from the rafters with long fishing lines, others on a short leash and
still others have hung them from a triangular frame as a larger mobile and they
look great in all three ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are
one-of-a-kind and all have fish names, which makes it more fun to view
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><b>How has your use of
fibre as a media progressed over time?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I spun and wove for
well over 30 years, and then added making hand-made paper and felting when I
went to art school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find fibre arts
have endured a bad rap and not given the respect the art form deserves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many years, people thought framed
paintings were the most important of the art world, but fortunately, fibre arts
have finally gained respect even here on Saturna!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><b>Your art work sounds
like it is taking new directions, talk about that.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I have always
appreciated the character of wood grains, natural colours and love the smell of
working with wood by cutting and sanding it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All new skills take learning and experimentation, and so it is with
painting on raw wood and sitting back to watch what would happen in each stage
of sealing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find a new piece of wood
has its own personality and actually suggests to me what to paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The preparation is quite extensive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have also been experimenting with water
pencil crayons to create a series of large marina/boat scenes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have painted 3 large scale murals in my own
back and front yards and looking forward to painting more external murals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of my neighbours has approached me to
paint a mural on her garage. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><b>Final Thoughts?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">It takes a village to
raise a child and Saturna clearly demonstrates it has the resilience to roll
with the punches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But we need to remain
aware and discuss the bigger issues around us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is my role as an artist and yet the whimsical theme of this show contradicts
that, like life.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I am challenged to
think about how art interfaces with what is going on around us right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather than this period being lost to COVID
ambiance, as artists, how can we interact and express the dynamic changes that
are occurring outside of our little island of Saturna?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think about how privileged I am to be
healthy and living on Saturna.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe
art needs to give clarity on the social issues of our time and stir up thoughts
and difficult conversations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Regardless of the
world problems, we always need to love and respect each other, including
everyone on our island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks for
giving me a voice among my fellow artists here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
