Marlena Wyman
I am an artist residing in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. My art focus is early prairie settler women, whose stories are under-represented in mainstream history.
Message
Inspired by a quote from The Grain Growers Guide.
"In log cabins and sod shacks, fifty and even one hundred miles from the railways are thousands of brave women living on the western prairies, bearing the cross of motherhood without proper care and giving the best of their lives in the struggle to win a corner of the earth which they and their families may call home."
The Grain Growers Guide, front page, 27 November 1912.
