I grew up in Northern Ontario and I love it! The landscape calls to me. I love the ancient, worn down, gently rounded hills of the Canadian Shield, the dense forests of white pines, red maples, cedars and spruce and the rivers and lakes that are around every bend…
I live in a large city now, but I still feel like a northern girl. I love to go camping, hiking and kayaking (provided it’s not on Lake Superior), but don’t go as often as I would like. I must remedy that!
In the last couple of years I have been involved in what I would consider a “girly” hobby, although I don’t consider myself to be a girly-girl. I make jewelry. I love making jewelry! I love dreaming up designs and executing them. I feel very proud when I learn new techniques. I love working with metals and stones and artisan glass. Shape and colour and texture are important. And there is something very satisfying about having a concrete item at the end of the process.
