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.

Inspired by Mary B. (Walter) Lawrence's memoir of 1898 – 1907

"Imagine the average greenhouse flower transplanted to the sudden impartiality of open soil and you have in epigram all that follows."

Mary came from Rossville, Indiana USA to the Fort Vermilion, Alberta, Canada area in 1898.
