St. Jacobs - Carriage
Watercolour
1999, 20"x29"
SOLD Private collection, Ottawa

"In the summer of 1999, my husband and I took a trip down to Stratford and the Niagara Escarpment region which resulted in some of my best works of that year. St. Jacobs was an experience that I feel I've longed for since I moved to the city. I think it was the sense of isolation and privacy of the Mennonite farms that drew us there. A quality of life with which I can relate."

"My husband and I were driving down the unpaved roads of St Jacob's amazed with the hoof and cart wheel patterns cut into the sand. Suddenly we were faced with this horse pulling the black carriage . It sent shivers up our spine. The funny thing about St. Jacobs - Carriage is that I don't ever recall seeing a driver. It was the horse that watched us as we passed. There is no doubt that we were intruders, disturbing those patterns with our tires."
