Canadian authors Gwendolyn Jazmin and Alisha Rose invite us into their world of "The Canvas of Life," a mesmerizing blend of poetry and art. Their floral-inspired pen names may first catch your ear, but it's their vivid storytelling and visual artistry that will capture your heart. Against the snowy backdrop of Alberta, these creatives open up about their journey, the serendipitous connection that brought them to our show, and their shared mission to resonate with readers through the harmony of words and imagery.
Discover the transformative power of creative collaboration as Gwendolyn and Alisha reveal how their partnership blossomed. Gwendolyn's poetry, a lifelong passion, found a new dimension in Alisha's evocative artwork, especially during the isolating times of the pandemic. Together, they navigated themes of solitude, reflection, and growth, creating a tapestry that encourages readers to find their own reflections in the art and poetry. Their work invites listeners to interpret and connect on a personal level, celebrating the subjective beauty of their creations.
In a heartwarming exploration of friendship and gratitude, Gwendolyn and Alisha share the inspiration behind their book's cover art and the poignant stories interwoven within their poems. From a touching tale of organ donation to a reflection on lifelong friendships, these narratives emphasize the bonds that inspire creativity. The episode also touches on Thanksgiving traditions and personal passions, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of our guests as they express their appreciation for life's myriad experiences. Join us for an episode that celebrates the indomitable spirit of artistic expression and the friendships that fuel it.#tellyourstory #familymatters #thebenmaynardprogram #podcast #thecanvasoflife #poetrymeetsart #gwenjazmin #alisharose #gocanada
