Blueberry Rain - November 2021
As a child B. Calder was given her own little child sized blueberry rake and allowed to glean the rows after they were picked by faster pickers. Even as a child of seven or eight years of age, she would produce at least one full clean bucket of berries, often too heavy for her to carry. Her pay, 50¢ a bucket.
B Calder began professionally painting in 2021, after being forced to retire due to a disability called Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). She has been a cottager on the Northumberland Strait for over 50 years and dreams of one day making it her permanent home.
