About Presenter:
I have always been a storyteller. In 2014, I started making quilts as a temporary way to deal with pain. But quilt making, and the possibilities with quilt making, quickly became a passion and my preferred medium for storytelling. As my skills with quilt making developed, my focus began to shift from simple stories to speaking my truth, starting difficult conversations, and challenging the limits of convention in traditional quilt making.I sought out teachers and mentors to support my growth. In January 2021 though, a diagnosis of terminal Liver Cancer left me with a life expectancy of about two years. Six weeks later, I met a doctor who told me that I might qualify for a transplant because I was in better shape than most folks my age. In July of that same year, against all odds, I received two thirds of my daughter’s liver in a successful transplant. My life expectancy jumped by twenty plus years! For me, these extra years are not just a gift. They come with responsibility. I see that responsibility as my opportunity to bring about positive change in the world. Currently, the focus of my work is 2SLGBTQ+ stories, issues, and history. My most recent fascination is to use quilts to record the progression of legal rights for Queers in Canada as advanced through Supreme Court decisions and legislative acts of Parliament (1950 to the present) and as a medium to record stories told by Queer Elders who lived this history.
