About this piece:
“When I moved to Edmonton, I was young and chalk full of creativity. However, I was clueless as to how to nurture this super power.
Enter Julie. And Marcie. This tour de force sisterhood took me under their wings and invited me to fly with them. These formative years were spent encouraging one another creatively in thought, heart, and art. We would frequently gather in Julie’s basement and get creative - Marcie and I painting and Julie editing photos. We joined art shows and made our own. We cheered each other on as we began to grow our own flocks, all while learning to love this world.
Julie’s star always shone bright. It lit up all who were around. It beamed dignity and worth. And hope. A few months ago I remember Julie telling me that she loved birds. So when I was asked to create something for this auction, I double checked with David and found out the sparrow was one of her faves. So in this piece, Julie’s sparrow continues to shine hope. And I bet if you sit still and shut your eyes you can see and feel Julie’s brightness shining warmth into your heart.”
