RESIDENT LIGHT: A Celebration of Ancestral Roots 

​

This exhibit was featured September through December 2024 at the 3rd Chair Gallery in St. Catharines, ON Canada. The opening was a beautiful event with fans, family and friends, charcuterie and sparkling juices. Over 60 people show their support and responded very positively to my work. Some were inspired to be more creative with their own family keepsakes and others were even moved enough to change their priorities about family! ​

​

It is ALL new work that I created this last summer (2024). It includes installations connecting family relics with a modern twist, painting and drawing highlights of growing up, and homey poetry and stitchery. As I explored my cultural (Mennonite) and spiritual roots, I came to celebrate generations of resilience and growth, and to consider how the flames of hope and truth might keep lighting the future.
