Last summer, I was fortunate enough to have a video crew offer to interview me about my experiences in the world of art.
This is the final edit of the footage taken on that warm sunny July day in our backyard garden.
I hope you enjoy this conversation about the place of art in my world, and that this prompts you to give a thought to the place of art in your world, too.
Thanks a million to videographer, Justin Upshaw, and interviewer, Adam Leclaire, for their kindness and generosity.

I think I “discovered” you via Doodlewash recently, Pat. I love your bright, loose watercolor style! This video was very well done. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Susan. Yes, I was one of the recent featured artists on Doodlewash. Happy we connected. Thanks for your kind comments on the paintings and the video. It was fun to think back about my experiences so far. Cheers, Pat

Beautiful video about a beautiful book and an amazing woman!

Thanks, Barbara, for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Great interview Pat! Have you thought of publishing follow up books that reflect other favourite locations you have visited in your travels? (I am thinking “The prairie girl’s Paris”)
I am currently taking a course in mindfulness, and one of your comments leapt out at me. I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate mindfulness and “being in the moment” than to create beautiful art. Well Done!

Hi Elanna. I’m so glad you enjoyed the interview. Yes, engaging in art is a great way to practice being in the moment. I have thought about publishing some of my images in book form. I have so many from our various travels – and of course the stories to go with them. Part of the challenge is trying to determine the potential market for something like that. Promoting and marketing ‘Sketches of Saskatoon’ was somewhat easier because the primary market is quite defined. It’s tougher to think about marketing a publication with a potentially wider dispersed following. But, as you note, the idea has a lot of appeal for me. I like the suggested ‘Prairie Girl In Paris’ theme! Thanks for writing, Pat
