GARTLAN, Sara – is an artist and aspiring craftswoman living in Toronto. She enjoys spending time moving through landscapes in canoes, kayaks, bicycles and motorbikes. The canoe being a fast favorite. In the last few years she has spent a fair amount of time being taught and teaching herself how to make and paddle small traditional boats. Skin on frame qayaqs, Irish curraghs, and the latest being a Cree canvas canoe. Living close to the Humber river in Toronto she never tires of seeing what the city river holds. She’s making her living by house painting and film set painting, she occasionally gets out to explore places further afield.
