Kathryn Amisson's breathtaking acrylics of West Coast and prairie scenes caught my eye several years ago. When we talked, I was equally impressed by her courage in quitting a secure government job to become a full-time artist 40 years ago. She's an inspiration to follow one's dreams.
"The Girl with the Violin" was a concept which I had been thinking about for a while. I love creating conceptual work and digitally enhancing my photography. The goal of every session is to create beautiful art which is distinctly unique to each particular client or project.
In September while headed to Prince Rupert, I toured the bridge on the Northern Expedition ferry. The crew was so hospitable‒and what a view! In my office design story you will see how important a "view" really is. And if you decide to visit Haida Gwaii, remember your rain hat!
JESSE HOLTH PAGES 40, 83 What exactly is a "side hustle?" In this issue, I had the opportunity to explore the rising trend of entrepreneurship and small business ownership as a side gig. Turning a passion into a secondary stream of income, on top of working a day job, can be tough but also rewarding.
RACHEL MARK PAGE 71 I find it a privilege to support people through a diagnosis of cancer. I am constantly reminded that it is never too late to make a change, to learn something new, and to prioritize self-care. Taking a moment to slow down and breathe can never be a bad thing.
DEBORAH ROGERS PAGES 25, 74 A reader's letter sparked my curiosity about the Eaglehurst development. A whole community has sprung up there: where the neighbours know each other, kids play out in the street and the road gets closed for block parties. There are also lots of home-based businesses appearing – I had to investigate!
