I Care for the Water because ... Water is Life Series
The journey on this planet is a gift of many relationships. We develop and care for the well being of those around us. The insects, water beings, mammals, birds and humans all need water to live. We balance our relationship with all life by protecting, giving thanks and caring for water.
There will be 13 images available in the series that have been created on a 15" hand drum crafted by Jackie Labonte and Oliver Nobosin. Each of the 13 drums will be gifted to a group or individual that is also caring for the water. If you would like to contact me with a suggestion for a recipient please do so. Your interest with this series is very much appreciated, together we are the ripple effect.

Paddle Art Tour Haldimand (PATH)
The PATH is a celebration of our local talent and the importance of the Grand River and Lake Erie to Haldimand County. Local artists are using wooden paddles—hand made by high school students in Caledonia and Dunnville—to create art portraying the area’s natural landscapes, wildlife, history and much more.
