One of the best parts of the night was when I got to meet one of my models! I had met her once before very briefly when I had a table at the Bellies Birth and Babies festival in Courtenay, but most of our correspondence was by internet. Carla Voyager lives all the way up north in Kingcomb Inlet, but took the trip down with her whole family- her husband and four kids, just to see her portrait in my show. Best moment ever was getting a photo of her and her (much bigger) baby beside my portrait.
