À propos du livre
Although I had originally planned to feature stories and photographs of women who had suffered job losses during this time, I soon realized that sharing painful experiences could be challenging. As a result, I decided to welcome any woman who wished to be part of this project. I enjoyed painting portraits of each of these women who provided a sentence or more about their jobs, ranging from parenting and volunteering to working in any field or profession. Women's contributions to the world are essential.

À propos du créateur
I grew up in the most beautiful place in northern Manitoba, surrounded by the Churchill River and boreal forests. Though we didn't have formal art education, I did learn traditional arts and crafts from my neighborhood Cree grandmothers, like weaving, beading, moccasin making, and birch bark biting. I learned how to draw by copying the Archie comics that were prevalent in my home as my mother was from South America and these comics helped her to learn English. My father told me the comics also inspired my name. I like that. When I started out on this creative journey it was difficult to find information and support as an artist. I read a lot, talked to many professional Artists and gallery Directors, tried many different things, and I think I've finally found my artistic 'sweet spot' both in my paintings and in my creative career. This is the information I wish that I would have had access to in the beginning. I hope it helps you, too.
