"Your current safe boundaries, were once unknown frontiers" 


Fear is no reason for not doing it, what ever your "IT" might be. It will eventually become a familiar play ground. There is always a first time to everything but it will hit you hard only once. 
My first days in Montreal, when I had just moved in to my "one room with only a mattress on the floor" place, were filled with a lot of "oh dear, what have I done". It was however summer and everybody who knows what winter is in Finland/Canada knows that during summer hell might fall over you and you still just keep on gazing up on the clear blue sky and thank the sun for hanging out with you. 




I kept on zooming in the sky, Montreal and its very wonderful landmarks. Letting myself slowly and gently feel welcomed to the city.


This is why I totally and utterly fell in love with Jane Hellers art, the first time I saw it. It was in forms of postcards and magnets. I needed to cover a ugly electrical cabinet in my second place here in Montreal.



Later I decided to upgrade and cover my Iphone with her art and get bigger pictures up the wall.


She is an artist who once saw these same Montreal landmarks for the first time, based her art upon it. We are the lucky ones who still gets to enjoy them. She struggled and passed away of breast cancer.
