What a year this has been. I have had 2 of my images selected to be in the InFocus Exhibit at the Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel Gallery.
Thank you so much to the curator Alexis Marie Chute.

The two images selected are a part of Project Change, a photography project involving Visions of Heaphen Photography Every Women Empowered, Missing Cara, Stolen Sisters & Brothers Awareness Movement and Aurora Hair and Makeup Artistry

The first image Voices of Change recently won a CAPA award,.

This image entitled CHANGE; features Branson’s silhouette. in a double exposure. with a leafless tree in winter, a Red Dress (symbolizing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) hanging from one of the branches. Ravens fly around the tree with one sitting on a red bench beneath the tree

Thousands of North American Indigenous Women have been murdered or have gone missing without a trace .

To me the image speaks of the need for change in what can only be described as a national tragedy. The bench is a place for families to wait for their missing loved ones. The winter scene is the condition now, but after winter is always the promise of spring, rebirth and change. The raven on the bench is a promise of that change to come. The silhouette and the red dress representing all those who have been lost to their families and friends.

I hope that these images can help raise awareness to those who have gone missing or were murdered and families and to those we still hope will be returned to their loved ones.
