When my friend gave me this Christmas gift (a small canvas to hang on the tree), I'm not sure she realized she was giving me two gifts-in-one: a lovely piece of art and an introduction to a new-to-me and now a favourite artist: Heather Johnston. Thank you, Theresa.
“ Life’s work is done little by little. Tiny movements are everything.”
“One is left to wonder, not without wistfulness, how the glowing screens into which we stare day and night, and through which we both consume and communicate so much of our experience of life, might be dimming the inner light of that interior rectangle where the wholeness of thought takes shape.”
