Sharon is an eco artist living in the Downtown East Side. Sharon works seasonally with whatever green materials she can use at the time. Her art ranges from woven coil structures out of invasive English Ivy to creating garments using materials such as hair, wool and leaves. She has used her dog J.D's fur to create art pieces, such as a pair of shoes! Her partner David is a member of the Legion of the Flying Monkeys, he creates instruments from plant materials. Their lovely dog was responsible in bringing the two together. It all started with David's notes to Sharon after walking J.D.
Linda has lived in a baby-blue heritage duplex in Kitsilano for almost 30 years. To her family and close friends, she's Lulu. To a few in the neighbourhood, she's "Two Dog Red."
Her front porch now faces into the alley but at one time, before Cornwall Street was developed, her porch looked out onto Kits Beach.
She takes us from her front porch, to her back garden and out for a walk by her favourite "haunts" with her two long-haired chihuahuas, Rudi and Lucy Mae.
