BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

​Our quick Fall salvage trips to the Island resulted in some great 'soft stripping' of mostly the residence on the back of the building.  Plus some farming tidbits left behind over the years.  The Sanctuary interior remains, we will hold off on until we make final decisions on what exactly will be used for the rebuild.


'
​'GET A PIECE OF IT'   This part of the project was so unanticipated, but ya just gotta go with what flows.  It really does fit quite well as 'creativity so much nourishes the soul!'
​You might wonder, why would anyone want to get rid of some of this amazing 100 year old wood?  Well, I don't, but unfortunately even gifts of the heart can end up with expenses.  Seeing as we won't need everything we salvage for the rebuild, in order to stay focused on the original vision, we must create some cash flow.  Really, it's not such a bad thing to allow others to have 'a piece of it', actually, it's pretty flippin' awesome! 

Every piece we sell through the project, be it ours or other artist's, It carries our excitement and the energy of The Mission.  Whether, it be upcycled furniture or home accessories created from our salvage, wall art, personal pieces, garden art, paintings or other, everything sold or auctioned at the Spring Event will offer a piece of history, or a feeling or connection to comfort, healing, calming energy, nature or it's just plain beautiful.
​

It has been asked, what if we exceed our expenses?  Well, wouldn't that be nice!  All I can say for now is, it would be cool to be able to support other innovative projects on Pelee...

​I would call this  'Transformation'
​

​ 'Throat '  is intensely powerful.  It definitely provokes strong emotion.

As the viewer of the painting, I think of the throat chakra..

I see the anguish of the trapped potential beauty, seen in the play of colour, wanting to break free from the restrictions of the pain felt by the model, unable to ' find her voice.'
I see the distortion created by the agony of strangled emotion.

​                           MAGPIE
                                                    Kelsey is somewhat of a LAVENDER connoisseur.
​                                                    She cooks with it, creates soaps with it, surrounds herself with it and loves to include it in her paintings.
                                                    If the calming, magical essence of lavender could ever be felt in a painting, it would be in this one.





How great is this!
