What Is Remembered, Lives

Remembrance Day Field

Remembrance Day has always held a very special place in my heart. Our family is incredibly grateful for the ability to live in a country where we feel safe, women can go to school, and we know we can be taken care of if things become terrible. All of that, every right we live in was fought for, and defended.

Our resident blacksmith Russ completed his first Remembrance Day Poppies last week as well! Check out his work here! It’s absolutely beautiful.

This piece features 2 lonely graves under a strong, vibrant tree. On the right 2 soldiers continue their walk forward. Are they comrades? Are they the soldiers who now rest under that tree?
Mostly, I enjoy art that tells a story, and makes you feel something. If I’ve inspired an emotion with this piece then I hope it touches your heart.

September Is Gold

For Childhood Cancer Awareness

Something dear to my heart is raising public awareness on the need for more funding towards Childhood Cancers. It’s an awkward subject, and if you’ve stayed to read this long, I hope you’ll enjoy my work.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month https://www.kidscancercare.ab.ca/childhood-cancer/stats

Each year, an estimated 300,000 children and adolescents worldwide are diagnosed with cancer

One in every 5 children diagnosed do not survive cancer.

Sometimes Hope is all we have to hold on to, finding a cure gives everybody hope that one day they will get to go home

This piece I make for my son Kyler, and our oncology family. May they live a long healthy and beautiful life

May those we’ve lost be in our hearts forever. What is remembered lives.
