"Life studies of the face and body and surroundings provide a window into humanity and individual character. Drawing them never ceases to engage and transport me.

Drawings integral to series work are not included with this random assortment of drawings which managed to escape rough storage, exposure to light and my harsh and quixotic judgments over decades of moves and purges."

Toronto's counterculture and feminism of the 70s included the 'Bloomsbury' of its day, Rochdale College, the literary Coach House Press, consciousness raising Liberation Media and Toronto's first International Women's Film and Video Festival.

The images of Kathleen Finlay and Alec Nicol are memories of two beautiful artists.
