Summary:
"Halifax painter Jo Napier created the
Nova
Scotia
Nine
portrait series that inspired this book. The
Nova
Scotia
Nine
is a collection of large-scale, contemporary paintings of
women
who lived extraordinary lives and made a difference here in
Nova
Scotia
. The
nine
women
featured in this collection have passed into history, but their legacies continue. In the stories gathered here, you will meet a current generation of
women
who are, in various ways, following in the footsteps of the
Nova
Scotia
Nine
and blazing their own
remarkable
trails." The
Nova
Scotia
Nine
portraits grew out of a desire to teach my young daughter, Julia, what
women
can do," says Jo. "When I tried to think of stories about great
women
of
Nova
Scotia
, not many came to mind. No great stories bubbled up." Jo wanted her daughter -- and any young woman -- to be able to "look up at a large, beautiful painting and discover a female face" and a powerful story. "The idea was pretty simple: paint
women
who made a difference in the world. And show other young
women
they could do the same." Jo is a Halifax native who studied at Vancouver's Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design and the
Nova
Scotia
College of Art and Design."--From Page 1 of text.
