I am proud and grateful to come from a long line of fearless Canadians. 

My grandfather, Joseph William Anson (Bill) at 17, lied his age to fight in World War1 because he was eager to help defend his family and country with his eldest brother Edward. After the war he returned to his hometown of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He fell in love with a beautiful spirited Irish girl by the name of Catherine Ledford. They were blessed with 11 children. Unfortunately, Bill died young because he was gassed in the war and left Katie a widow with children ranging in age from 2 to 18. Two of Bill’s younger brothers Kenneth and Lawrence Anson went on to fight and die 4 days apart in World War 2. Both also leaving young widows, children and family to mourn them forever. 

“BEAVERS STICK TOGETHER” designs are created in solidarity with fellow Canadians. We love hockey and like beavers, we are social, playful, resourceful and fearlessly defend our own. The poppy on one of the designs, with the text “Respect 11/11” is in honour of all who have served, then and now. Because of their sacrifice and fearlessness, we are free. We remain eternally grateful.

Photography and Design is my passion and joy. Sharing my art with you is the best part of all.
