David Green is one of my very best friends, and I am so very proud of him for completing this program! I cannot wait to see all the work that he and his fellow colleagues have been working so hard on. A big congratulations to all of the participants!
"Harbourside" is a community youth arts program that runs through The Murphy Center. It offers youth to become a part of an arts collective and provides an opportunity to develop artistic and life skills during a 10 month period. I'm proud to say that I'm a part of that alumni, completing the program in May 2009. I had a wonderful experience while being in the program...it was an incredible eye-opener to the arts and craft community here in St. John's. I was able to realize that I could live a very fulfilled life in the arts and it lead me to apply to CNA's Textiles Program, which I'm currently cluing up. I can honestly say that because of this experience I am where I am today. I completed the program with great confidence and improved skill, feeling that all my dreams were 100% possible. I will always look back on that experience as a major stepping stone, probably the most important stepping stone.
Here are some photos of my final exhibition, such an exciting day...

I made this from swarovski crystals!
I was inspired by Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman". I used water colour, ink, acrylic and gold leafing.
I made this during a paper making workshop with Anita Singh
I'm not really this morbid. I drew this from real life and the session was over before I finished drawing his head, so I improvised!
