Northern Voice Artists!

This past weekend I attended the Northern Voice Social Media conference, and got to meet some really talented and inspiring artists. Check out the work of these three dynamos:

Here is my favourite quote, from Chapter 1 of Ada Starfield:

her mother said,

Ada close your eyes

close your eyes, my dear

feel the earth,

feel her deep down below.

feel your gratitude

she receives it.

gratitude, Ada

send it down, into the dark.

if you can't find gratitude

then what will you give her?

what part of you goes down

into the cold press of earth?

Next up is Leah Gregg. Leah has taken on a wicked iphone photo project called onetwofiveVANCOUVER, celebrating the city's 125th birthday.

I used to walk past this building every day on my way to work. Her portraits of the city remind me why I love living here.

Last up, the paintings of Uma Sharda. I love this Lotus dancer:

Artist Uma Sharda paints spirit 

What I love about the work of all three of these women is the passion that jumps through the image. This is true inspiration!

Please visit their websites to see more of their work.

Have a beautiful day!
