Children | Personal Project


Doesn’t every childs little face melt your heart?  The sad eyes of joyful smile?  The friendships created so effortlessly between them. We should learn from children and treat each other with consideration and kindness.
Here are a few of my favorites!

Women | Personal Project

Lots of these images were taken in passing.......either me in a car or walking or the women traveling past.  I would have loved to have met and talked with each one.....getting to know her story. 

Unfortunately this these will all have to have imagined, hopefully happy, lives connecting to them.

A few more from this series on Women.

Women | Personal Project

Being a Woman, Artist, Daughter, Sister….and most important…Wife and Mother! I have viewed the world in a certain way all my life.   I have watched the women around me and have seen characteristeicts that cross cultures. Whether it be the nurturing or the urge to feed everyone or body language & expression..... each has a similarity and a uniqueness.  I have started to compile a collection of images of women around the world and would like to start by sharing  more of what I saw in India.


As you view these please remember that even though shown 
as a compilation they are meant to be
 Individual Works of Art ~ Kerri

Reduce, Recycle and Renew

I had always heard that to travel to India you would either "Love it" or "Hate it" but most importantly it would change the way that you would view your own life.  It is difficult to describe what I viewed but I have attempted to some of my posts.

One thing I noticed was the recycling efforts.....we have the recycling bins and collection by truck...they have collection by bicycle or rickshaw and truck.  Someone picks up cardboard another collects paper and another plastics.  Garbage when collected is carefully sorted into recycling piles.
Not only recycling occurs here but more importantly, something that our north american lifestyle is in desperate need of implementing, if we are to reduce the amount of waste each year.
I became extremely aware of our over consuming society while there.
This is the difference......
when something breaks they do not toss it and buy a new one....

They get if fixed!

We have turned into such a throw away society that even the repair services are disappearing or becoming outrageously expensive so that purchasing a new one is cheaper.

I am far from perfect at this but I am trying to do my part. Please help our world for our children by mending a sock, fixing your microwave or donating to someone that would use it before just tossing it into the pile of trash accumulated each year in our country. Which looks so beautiful on the surface, but is built on that very same pile!
The following are examples of the 2R's

"Sustainable Peace for a Sustainable Future"

This is the theme chosen for this years International Day of Peace by 
the United Nations.  As we are bombarded with all the appointments, activities, and daily routine please think  how we as individuals can contribute to using resources in a sustainable way, so that the generations to come may discover peace by not having to fight for what should be the right of each person.


Today we had the opportunity to be part of the Celebration of the International Day of Peace and Terry Fox Walk with Veer's Class.

Below are some of the Images from today.  I hope they Inspire you.
