As a Newfoundlander, living away, I have continued feeling of displacement. It seems I am always looking for “something of home”, whether that be a memory of an object, place or people.  I explore my memory of place and sense of belonging in my work.  It gives me something to hang on to both metaphorically and physically.
I have always enjoyed the creative side of myself whether it was drawing, painting, ceramics or making craft projects. My mom was a maker and influenced me greatly in that area. When my siblings and I were growing my mom would make clothing, dolls, Christmas ornaments, dough baskets, I could go on and on. My favorite memory of making with my mom involved a seventh grade paper mache project. It was a full nativity set spray painted in gold.  And my teacher at the time, Mrs. Nash, was very impressed!
