Diversities
This project was born from the illustrator’s own need. Passionate about coloring, painting, pencils, markers, and watercolors, she constantly came up against books designed either for children or drawn by excellent designers who weren’t passionate about coloring themselves. She was searching for suitable coloring books. Someone who truly appreciates the art of coloring likes large spaces to vary the shades. She also likes to use a wide variety of colors while maintaining harmony. Therefore, there need to be details, but not too many, to keep the artwork looking beautiful. It’s about finding the perfect balance between large and small spaces to color. Not finding this kind of product on the market, she grabbed her pencils and created the perfect drawings for coloring lovers.
Le projet est né d’un besoin rencontré par l’illustratrice elle-même. Étant une mordue de coloration; peinture, crayons de bois et d’encre, aquarelle; elle se butait constamment dans ses recherches à des albums à colorier pensés soit pour les enfants, soit dessinés par des gens qui sont d’excellents dessinateurs, mais non des passionnés de coloriage. Quelqu’un qui s'adonne véritablement à l’art de la coloration aime les grandes surfaces de coloriage afin de s'amuser avec les nuances. Aussi, il aime utiliser un maximum de couleurs différentes tout en créant une harmonie, c'est pourquoi il apprécie qu’il y ait aussi de petites surfaces, mais pas trop, pour ne pas perdre l’esthétisme de l’œuvre. Il exige donc un équilibre parfait de grands et petits espaces coloriables. Ne trouvant pas ce genre de produit sur le marché, l’instigatrice de ce projet s’est emparée de ses crayons et a créé des illustrations parfaites pour les amoureux du coloriage.

Nowhere to Call Home
In many cities and small communities across Canada, the individuals and families that experience homelessness are often invisible to the greater community around them. People may walk by or see someone that is homeless, yet they feel a disconnection. They see homelessness as an experience that happens to "other people" not something that could ever affect them. However, Leah's work bridges the gap between "us" and "them" by bringing humanity to all the faces of these individuals. Leah does a wonderful job of highlighting the heart and the struggle that everyone can relate to. People that experience homelessness have families, they have favorite foods, pets, jobs, goals, and dreams along with their struggles. Leah's photographs capture the story of homelessness with all of its rich complexity in an image and through conversation. * Gail Hoekstra, Executive Director; and Carlin Dykstra, Housing Stability Support Worker, Welcome In Drop-In Centre

A Day of Infamy Revisited
Tragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.
The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one’s life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.
