I have one painting featured in the show "True Stories" alongside other talented Design Faculty instructors at Grant MacEwan College, at MTrac Lofts and Interscape Interior Design. The show is open to the public June 9–15, 2009 at 11625–105 Ave., 12 noon to 5 p.m. If you're interested in seeing more work and you're in Edmonton, Alberta please feel free to drop by otherwise view more work here. For those of you who don't know, I'm a part-time instructor at the college in the fall session under illustration techniques.
You may remember the following piece which is featured in the show:

Lina Medina - the worlds youngest mother (5 years & 8 months old).
I think I'm finished the piece although I'm going to put off varnishing it until I'm quite sure I'm 100% happy with the results.
Inspired by my husband who mentioned that I rough up my plywood painting surface with carving tools, I spent a good chunk of one day carving out and manipulating the "canvas" until it was a bit of a relief project. I loved the results and think I'm going to try doing this technique on some pieces for my future baby's room.

This piece is a work in progress for the Grant MacEwan Design Faculty Show entitled "True Stories". I thought that since pregnancy has grown to be such an engrossing theme in my life this year that I would research fascinating "true stories" about pregnancy for my submission. I may do one more piece for the show if I can spare the time to complete it about another very rare and amazing pregnancy story.
My piece is about Lina Medina who became the world's youngest mother on mothers day in 1939 at the age of 5 years (and 8 months) old. This story is both disturbing and amazing for what I hope are obvious reasons. Please feel free to read more about this interesting "true story" here.
I will go check it out for sure :)
