Sculpture during quaratine

The Quarantined Museum is a space of virtual exhibition curated by the Musée d’art de Joliette (MAJ) team. Each month that have a theme that artists can respond to. February was plastic. My sculpture created from recycled household plastic entitled Our Plastic Sea was chosen to be in the virtual exhibit.

Visit whole exhibit called Theme 21 Plastic . I’m in the company of some really cool artists.

When I found myself ranting on Facebook again, down in the basement, I decided to do some miniature sculptures instead.

At the beginning of 2010, I was ending a horrible 15 month stretch at Reader’s Digest. It’s on my list of top ten terrible jobs. I started my new decade unfairly blacklisted and broke from the experience. I basically gave up writing full time and ended my corporate life because I decided to never work for a shitty multinational ever again. So far, so good. It took me a few years to recover but in 2012, I decided to return to school and study something I loved. I started 2014 back at high school studying art with people much younger and more talented to me.  Then I moved onto getting my BFA. Sometimes exhausting, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes lonely, sometimes fun, sometimes hard work – it’s been one of the best experiences of my life. Re-inventing yourself is a good way to stay connected to the wonderful things in life. As I enter this new decade, I’m still learning and looking forward to the new adventures coming. Don’t be afraid of what’s coming. It’s all good – even the shit parts.  Embrace your journey. Happy New Year.

If you are in the Montreal area, please come and check out the sculpture exhibit I curated with fellow artist Anne Devautour. Women Wood Steel showcases sculptures done by a group of international female artists currently working in Montreal. It runs from Aug 27 until Sep 5, daily from 10 until 5 pm at Westmount Park United Church.
