My Grandma was a creative person and an artist at heart, and she taught me how to see the world through beautiful eyes. She taught me how to look at the trees, and encouraged me to observe how the lake changes colours every day. We watched as clouds formed in the sky near and far. She changed how and what I see in the world, pointed out all the joyful things, and then showed me how the lines of life can be recreated on a canvas.
In addition to being my Grandmother, she was a best friend. As she taught me art, she always showed unconditional love. I will pass down her teachings to little Harley, her Great Grand Daughter, who she adored. She will continue to inspire me to always live in my element as an artist, wife, mother, aunt, friend, and one day a grandmother and great-grandmother myself. I know Harley will feel her love through me and the lessons and intergenerational strength she leaves behind. One day, her artwork will inspire Harley and possibly her children to create and see beauty in the ways she taught me.
I find comfort in knowing she is reunited with my Dad, Grandpa, her sisters and brothers, Mother and Father.
