Surfacing: An update on my life.
As life spins along, sometimes peacefully, sometimes beyond our control, I am now in a phase of readjusting to living and creating without my life partner, my husband, artist Richard Rudnicki. Richard died suddenly on November 4th, 2019. In the more than two years that followed his death, I worked predominately on completing his graphic novel, Dusty Dreams and Troubled Waters , written by Brian Bowman, and in curating a show of his work, Richard Rudnicki: Reflections on Life , at ArtsPlace Gallery in Annapolis Royal. https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2251430 https://artsplaceexhibits.weebly.com/richard-rudnicki.html This does not mean that I did not work in my own studio, but grief and the adjustment to life alone did take its toll.

I remember setting up a darkroom in the basement with the three baths, the red light, an enlarger scavenged from somewhere, heavy blankets to darken...it must have been a closet or set up near the sink. It really worked well, making 8 X 10 black and white enlargments. Portraits, special effects and eery landscapes. The landscapes where mostly shot in the Ottawa area, and the winter ones at the farm with the old ruins were spectacular.
