i woke up this morning to the sound of silence...the city was almost at a standstill due to the freezing rain storm that started sometime during the night...what actually got me out of bed was the sound of an accident outside my bedroom window...yes two cars in a fender-bender...once up, i had to decide if i should cancel work due to the weather and stay in bed reading or brave the elements and head off to work...i choose the latter because i am truly a hardy canadian girl...i didn't experience any trouble getting to work and i am sitting in the studio drinking my morning coffee, eating an amazing biscotti and listening to some great jazz on the radio...the weather outside may be stormy but inside here it's rather pleasant...did i mention that the distance i travel to work is about twenty feet down a flight of stairs into the basement?...
i love snow days!...
About Me
- lisa g.
- i was born in a big city in ontario when the air quality was still good and litter wasn’t seen on the ground. the childhood that followed my birth was average for a canadian girl growing up in a small town in the early seventies. bell bottoms, dorothy hamil hairstyle and a banana seat bicycle were some of the things that i had, along with a box of crayons with a built-in pencil sharpener. i carried my crayons everywhere and drew all the time on almost everything. years later after puberty took its’ hold on me and changed my outlook on life permanently, i found myself leaving the small town for the bright lights of the big smoke where i enrolled in the fine arts programme at a university. i stayed on as a student for sometime then found myself disillusioned with the lack of inspiration that came from the faculty. so i left to find a mentor, someone who would inspire me, teach me, guide my creativity to find its' own voice. that mentor was found in the many books i’ve acquired over the years. i’ve found my inspiration through my travels and spending time following the footsteps of some of my ‘heroes’ of the art world.
