CBC Radio Interview

rachel(le)

Friday, June 26th, I had the opportunity to chat with the amazing Dionne Codrington at CBC for the show All in a Weekend.

We talked about what inspired my latest novel Lavender Spike, a bit about my upbringing, and of course, about art as the driving force in the book and in our lives.

It was my first radio show ever, and Dionne was an absolute pro at calming my nerves. Full of warmth and light, she made me feel welcome and appreciated.

Not shown in the photos, producer Jill, was the other wonderful soul who added to the experience being such a positive one.

Huge thanks to both of them and to CBC for having me.

The interview went live Sunday but can be now be listened to on demand on CBC.ca by putting my name in the search bar,

• This Circus • Oil on cradled wood 18” round • 🙏🏼 SOLD 🙏🏼

My daughter posed for me in her Halloween costume. Taking pics, she flipped the birdie and I loved it.

This idea of playing the game and also hating it, living in a broken world as we simultaneously work to fix it, being unapologetically ourselves and at the same time having to be so many things for so many people. Deciding to take no more bullshit. Being nobody’s monkey. Boundaries. It got me thinking about so many dichotomies and ambiguities, all thanks to a little photo session sass.

Paintings rarely finish the way I intend them to be at the start. They usually end up being a lot more interesting hahaha.

Keep fighting the good fight folx! That is—everything that wholehearted supports equality, love, peace. Yes middle fingers can be part of that!!

The Messengers • 20” x 20” • Oil on cradled wood panel

Thought and Memory. Huginn and Muninn. The keepers of the secrets. Birds who saved my life, once, in a dream.

Available 🙂

Have a great creative start to 2024!!
