I love the work of Shary Boyle<\/a>. I have written about her before. I became fascinated with her Art because she created figures, a little like Royal Doulton collectables, except that she dressed her “people” in real lace dipped in porcelain and they all had 6 fingers to each hand.<\/p>\n

\nand here is an article in the Globe and Mail<\/a> about Shary and her work. Shary has been chosen to represent Canada in 2013 at the Venice Biennale – a mixed blessing.  I wish her luck!!!<\/p>\n

“Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.”<\/span>
