The Lunchbox 2021-08-06: Ridge Works Studio

Feature:

  • This year, there have been a number of artists-in-residence out at Killarney Lake. I caught up with the mother-and-daughter duo of Kim Stillwell and Anne Stillwell-LeBlanc, who work together under the name of Ridge Works Studio. During their time in residence, they were both expanding their experience with plein-air painting, including how it doesn’t work very well when it rains.
  • And today is International Sailor Moon Day! I went back to 2016, when I had the chance to talk to two local fans of the anime, Stephanie and Cassie, who were preparing to hold one of only four celebrations across the country.
