10th Year for Voice and Vision Collaboration

This year there are 23 voice and visionaries for the Voice and Vision Group directed By Debrah Lawton.

It is a wonderful opportunity for artists and writers to work together in producing a book that showcases writings paired with arwork. The book consists of 2 parts; a writers reponse and visual response. The pieces include story writing, poetry and musings: the visual artwork is a in variety of mediums and sizes including 3D pieces.

I began my journey in 2022 with this fun creative group of artists;

First paired with Jen Atkin in 2022; I submitted my painting entitled "Preserved" and Jen's poem entitled "Ephemera". She submitted the poem "Home Shore" and I responded with a painting with the same name; Home shore

Margaret Hanna in 2023: I submitted my painting entitled "Sunshine on My Shoulders" and Margaret's poem entitled "The Dancer". She submitted the poem "The Tree" and I responded with a painting entitled "Imagination Grove"

Lorraine Jensen in 2024: I submitted my painting entitled "Puddles" and her poem entitled "A playground of Seasons". She submitted the poem "The Creek" and I responded with a painting entitled "Nature's playground II"

Sharon Christie in 2025. My painting is entitled "Finishing Touches"

The figure is a young child, wearing a princess dress and glass slippers. She has a lipstick smudge on her face and is placing a crown upon her head. There is the outline of the castle in the background.This young girl is ready to rule the world with her grown up attitude and her vibrancy reflected in her bright costume. This is a study of my granddaughter who has never looked back. Her life dreams a reality as she conquers her fears and forges ahead compelling others to take notice of her accomplishments. Her success in life a reflection of her positive attitude and competitive nature. Her childhood now left behind, but with the success of a heart warming princess.
