It was such a thrill for me to participate in this year's Art Attack show, and a first on a few fronts. My first show in Vancouver, my first live art event, and the first chance I've ever had to demonstrate my process in front of an audience. Here is a video, taken by my cousin Jaclyn, during the show. It was a bit of a nerve-wracking experience at first, but turned into a wonderful day that I can't imagine topping just yet.

This video depicts Dessie Jeanne Marshall carving a lilypad freehand to create a dragonfly at the 2016 Vancouver Art Attack charity fundraiser. This marks the first time the artist has carved a leaf in front of a live audience, and is proof of her freehand style (without the use of stencils, predrawing or any ohter types of aids).
