Fay, is she Canadian herself? Also, is she First Nation?
edit Here's a list of First Nation artists - she might be on here: [link]
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Susan Seddon Boulet? [link] She was an Oakland, CA artist (which is why I know her name, but if this is actually who you're thinking of I'll plotz).

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
No freaking clue. I don't remember her name pinging me as being of any particular ethnicity - something European, though - which is to say maybe English, maybe French, maybe something else altogether. Nothing that screamed 'First Nations!' though, I think.
The style is realistic representational art, pretty distinctive portraits in...er, perhaps watercolour, or perhaps watercolour with pen-and-ink? But there's this doubling effect of the person, with their spirit animal ghosting over them - all shamanish. I had several of her prints when I was 18, and subsequently have noticed her artwork cropping up in New Agey shops/book covers/postcards/posters from time to time.

Ha! I knew I'd seen some of her pictures. There was a local new agey store that sold her stuff. The Bear Woman seemed to be very popular. Unfortunately, that store closed many years ago. They had some nice stuff, sigh.

My talents are so wasted here at the library answering questions about how to find law stuff.

Thanks for giving me images of penis amputation and The Man Who Couldn't Stop before breakfast, Frank.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If anyone missed it, I posted my first piece of fiction in five years. It feels good to have written something new. I don't know where to go from here, but I hope it's the beginning of a new phase.
