Blindspotting

It's a wonderful experience to watch a movie depicting a local scene and feeling it's universal. I loved the humor and tragedy in Blindspotting. Some scenes are hard to watch and completely necessary.

La Guerre des Tuques ("The Dog Who Stopped the War")

A little nod to an 80s childhood. "La Guerre des Tuques" ("The Dog Who Stopped the War") came out in 1984. Every winter, I have memories of that film and being a kid in the snow north of the 49th parallel.

Armistice Day

Today marks the 100th anniversary of WW1 armistice.  There is family history that comes with "La Grande Guerre" for me. I have so many unanswered questions about what happened, how people felt, how did they managed to survive. Inevitably, there is also compassion towards those who sacrificed their life in that war and in any war.

"Drawn Together"

There will be a gallery show with many of my peers' work followed by an auction in 2019. The theme is "Drawn Together" and I got inspired by one of my favorite pictures from our family album. My Grandmother never feared getting sand in her shoes and on her pretty attires when she came for a family dinner or for babysitting.
