Simple Joys

Barbara Brown Conrod has always been a letter writer and card sender.

In fall 2023, during a period of grieving, Barbara created original hand-drawn or painted cards daily for three months and mailed 84 to friends or family members. Larger interpretations of these images on canvases were later exhibited as in Tatamagouche as a solo show titled, The Art of Balancing Grief and Joy at the Fraser Gallery, in Tatamagouche.

This ARTSPLACE Library Gallery exhibition will share a selection of the original cards alongside portions of their texts.
