“In the process of writing songs and letters to the editor, I learned how to write. I was driven to write as I believe I exist as a vessel for free speech and that free speech was often published in newspapers.” “My long-time friend, artist and activist, Ann
Hansen, of Victoria, lives by the quote “democracy is not a spectator sport”. Letter-writing was one of my forms of participating in our democracy.” “My vast body of paintings include portraits of
Canadians you may have known and I thank everyone who sat for portraits throughout the years.”
