When I was young we left the city every summer and drove a long, hot way to my grandfather's house in the middle of the province. 

I hated leaving my friends, I hated the heat, I hated having to wear a bathing cap in the pool, I hated picking cherries for 5 cents a bag and I hated the way the dry grass was prickly underfoot. Plus I had weird hair and a big nose.

The only saving graces were the barn across the street and eating late bitter lettuce leaves sprinkled with sugar. The barn was falling down and probably unsafe, but it still housed hay bales that reached nearly to the top. 

At the top there was a hole in the roof to dream out of, and I use to go there and climb up and look at the stars or the dry blue sky or whatever was present at the time.

True to life, this painting has many, many layers.

"Working mainly in bright Acrylics, inks and collage, I want my art to be accessible to everybody. I want my paintings to find the naive child and deep down belly laugh that lives inside every person and connect to that joy place, as that is where my art comes from. To that end, my paintings are authentic and simple and often accompanied by a verse or rhyme that can arise as I create a piece." North Vancouver author and artist Jenn Ashton is no stranger to creativity. Coming from an artistic family she has lived her life bringing creative flair to all her projects large and small. From the non-profit Boardroom and the challenges of being a young parent, to producing music and enjoying scholarly pursuits, Jenn Ashton is known for her originality, resourcefulness and vision.
