PINK JUSTS MAKES ME HAPPY
I have been an artist almost my whole life. I was born in Manitoba. My dad decided that he needed to have a farm - of sorts, so he bought an acreage on the outskirts of Winnipeg. There was an old farm house on the property, but my dad, thought it would be a good idea to live in a garage with his wife and five children. He got a friend to help him build it and they set up beds for all of us. My mom used an old shed next door to the garage as a make shift kitchen. We used an old outhouse for awhile, but mostly a chemical toilet behind a curtain in the garage. I must have been about six years old when we moved there. It was one of many moves. Our family spent the summer building a house, with the help of my dad's carpenter friend.
