"I find my favourite motivation to be my excitement in seeing the beauty surrounding me. I love the stillness of nature and the outdoors which contradicts the energy it gives me with a million thoughts and ideas forming in my head. I take this and go into my studio where I lose time and worries from anything else.
This is a good life. I am very grateful for it.
by Lorna Penner - Penner's Patch
" As I begin each day and look out the window I feel so thankful to be living this beautiful life in the north. It is these moments that I want to capture and share through my creative process.
I am appreciative and grateful of feeling connected to the earth and nature, making choices of design, technique and colour that depict how I see my world."
