Sobre o livro
I kept asking myself, "What can I do?" and it occurred to me that art has long served as a catalyst for change. This is why I chose to use my voice in the best way I knew how, by empowering other women to be brave and show up in their lives. My younger daughter, Katherine, had previously suggested that I paint famous women who have influenced our lives as part of a year-long project titled "Heroes." As part of #The100DayProject, I took this idea further by painting 100 women in 100 days who personally impacted my life in some way on 8x10 gallery canvas to celebrate and honor the "nasty women" in my life. I began with a self-portrait, followed by portraits of the beautiful women in my life who stepped up to support this project.

Sobre o autor
I grew up in the most beautiful place in northern Manitoba, surrounded by the Churchill River and boreal forests. Though we didn't have formal art education, I did learn traditional arts and crafts from my neighborhood Cree grandmothers, like weaving, beading, moccasin making, and birch bark biting. I learned how to draw by copying the Archie comics that were prevalent in my home as my mother was from South America and these comics helped her to learn English. My father told me the comics also inspired my name. I like that. When I started out on this creative journey it was difficult to find information and support as an artist. I read a lot, talked to many professional Artists and gallery Directors, tried many different things, and I think I've finally found my artistic 'sweet spot' both in my paintings and in my creative career. This is the information I wish that I would have had access to in the beginning. I hope it helps you, too.
