Your work is beautiful. I missed you at the reunion but am glad you gave us your website. Susan
Exquisite work!
Your work is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Jean,
This is two voices from the distant past, whom you may or may not recall. It may be that we don’t know each other and didn’t attend high school. Either way, your work is rich and lovely; we enjoyed the brief tour we took of the gallery.

Hey Yvonne — I don’t know if this address is still current as I haven’t done anything with my WordPress account for years. So nice to hear from you, and Maureen too! To see something more current, I’m on Instagram – @jeankares – but I haven’t been posting there for a while, either. Hope you’re both well, feel free to reach out. jkares@web.ca, 604-788-4211.
Hi Jean, an admirer from a way back.
