Participation in Creative Connections 4 ...

Participation in this year's Creative Connections 4 Opening Reception and Exhibition is an honour, a privilege, not to mention lots of fun.

I participated in two projects.  The first oroject was with artist Susan Krupp whose amazing work can be viewed at Yuneekpix.com   This collaboration was such a pleasure.  Inspired by Susan's designer umbrella I wrote a short story for children titled The Last Drop which is now available at http://www.amazon.com/author/audreyaustin   

Susan designed the book's cover and created the illustrations throughout.

What a special treat it was to have the story book read by eight year old, Grace Catherine Crocker who is an award winning public speaker.  Her performance wowed the audience at the CC4 Reception.

 

 

 

 

 



The second project I was involved with was a first for me.  I was thrilled to write the lyrics to a song; music composed by John Cal, professionally known as Johnny Tyger.  

The song is titled Listen To Love.   At our CC4 Reception John gave an amazing performance before a very appreciative audience.   It was pure joy.

There were many amazing projects undertaken by the authors, visual artists and performing artists of Elliot Lake.  

It was an enjoyable talent-filled afternoon and I am very grateful to be a part of this great event.   

Here is a photo of all the artistic participants.
