Northumberland Birds and Blooms - March 2024
I’m happy to share that I was invited to be the featured artist at K Okay Cafe in Warkworth for the month of March during Warkworth Maple Syrup Fest.
It has been a little over a year since I moved my family and my studio to Grafton. The art hung at K Okay is an ode to our first year as residents of Northumberland County. “Birds and Blooms of Northumberland” is a celebration series featuring the pieces inspired by all the beauty that surrounds us in this incredible place I’m so proud to call home.
All pieces in this series were created in my limited palette inspired by the colors I see before an aural migraine attack. Bright, bold and beautiful, just like my bruised brain.

Jack Calder at War: A Mother's WWII Scrapbook
Submitted by Spirit of the Hills member Patricia Calder
The University of Windsor collaborated with me in producing a website of my grandmother’s WWII Scrapbook containing 100 authentic documents which tell the story of my Uncle Jack, a navigator with RCAF/RAF.
He parachuted into Republican Ireland (Eire) in 1941, was captured by the Guards and thrown into the Curragh prison where he remained for 20 months. He escaped under a cloak of secrecy and began retraining when his plane crashed into a mountain in Northern England. Luckily he was rescued by a nurse who hiked 10 miles to the smoking crash site. Then he spent 8 months in hospital, enduring many surgeries to his leg and face. Finally he returned to service and was elevated to Pathfinders where he flew Mosquitoes until he was shot down in July 1944.
Spirit of the Hills is dedicated to promoting ALL creative art forms and traditions in Northumberland County, including the performing and visual arts, media, design and the literary arts.
