Living by Lake Ontario, I've had to stop my car to give way to a family of Canadian geese to cross. I imagined this day to create this piece, only it's the first day of school, and ten little fuzzy yellow goslings are making their way toward the bus. Mother goose is ushering them along, while father goose looks out for traffic. Like children, some are ready, some are running, while others are nervous and frazzled, with their feathers everywhere.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My work is the expression of my experiences and emotions, a collection of things I find amusing, beautiful, nostalgic, humorous or absurd. With one brush stroke or stitch, it's how I'm thinking, feeling and observing the world. The work is also about sustainability as I source recycled materials in the creation process. Inspiration stems from creative innovators like the late Jillian Owens, a.k.a the re-fashionista who transformed the most hideous thrift store finds into ready-wear fashion.
