Bird Shadows is a playful tale of eccentricities, misconceptions, and misogyny. While working on a personal spiritual project, an irreverent artist encourages her religious sister to rethink the marriage that seems to be killing her soul.
The people in the quaint little Bay of Fundy fishing village of Brood Bay will not soon forget the events of 1995. It was an outrage! A good Christian family was torn apart by the wicked influence of a mentally unbalanced, morally challenged artist. Pastor Wallace was appalled by the improper, if not downright evil, behaviour that had taken place right under his nose. His sympathies were most certainly with the abandoned husband, Warren, deacon of the church, generous and innocent man of God. But was Warren as innocent as he appeared?
Not according to his sister-in-law, Rube. She had always seen through the posing and the praying. As Rube sifted through her dreams, panning for God, her sister, Helen, was forced to acknowledge that her fundamentalist husband was not very Godly.
I walked into a room one day and caught two chairs talking to one another – or so it appeared from their positions. After that day I paid closer attention. Turns out, the secret life of furniture is quite extraordinary or perhaps I have just lived alone for too long.
Through ink illustrations, The Chair Affair traces the beginning, middle and end of a relationship between two chairs.
Copies of The Chair Affair are available at Yarmouth Creatives and from my studio during the warm months of the year. $20.00

We all have Best Before dates and we all have Expiry dates. There are no exceptions. Each life is individual; each death is individual. The passage to the great beyond is facilitated by many prodessionals: medical, spiritual, legal, financial, and funereal. However, there are times when the 'pros' turn out to be 'cons'. So many questions arise when the subject of death is considered. Does consciousness continue after death? Can the dead communicate with the living? Is there any such thing as reincarnation? Are 'near death' experiences evidence of what we can expect from final death? And, if you are a religious person, is there a heaven or hell? These are questions without definitive answers but that's O.K. Considering the possibilities while reviewing the stories of eight loved ones has helped me befriend the inevitability of death and lay my loved ones to rest.
