Joker
Joker: As a colorist, I wanted
this joker card to be exciting,
warm and inviting. The yoke
and hat embellishments were
fun to create but the shoes led
to the “J” shape, which brought
this joker to life. Of course, the
shape led to juggling and what
could he juggle, but J’s!

5 of Clubs
5 of Clubs: As a card player I
chose the 5 of Clubs for its
influence on the design
symmetry and its application to
the Nova Scotia landscape.
Being an artist, I have only
touched the surface of my
creativity and hold true to my
grandmother’s tradition of using
“found” materials almost
exclusively in my hooking.

Jack of Spades
Jack of Spades: The Jack of
Spades was a favorite of my
father’s who inspired me since
he was a rebel and a gambler.
He referred to the Jack of
Spades as “his nibs” when he
slammed his fist down on the
table to display the black jack
to whomever was playing cards
with him. Card playing for
money was a ritual at our
house. After church on Sunday
we played Auction One Twenties
for a dollar a game, and a
nickel in the hole. It was not
unusual for me, as an eight year
old, to win six or eight dollars on
Sunday before lunch. I did not
lead a sheltered life.
