Growing up on her parent's trap-line in pre-Cambrian country near Thunder Bay was perhaps the best inspiration an artist could ever ask for, said Linda Kennard.

"I didn't even see town until I was five," she said. "My parents lived and trapped on the lakes."

Kennard's childhood appreciate of nature is reflected in her majestic lake scenes and realistic wildlife oil and acrylic paintings. Blue herons, loons, or beaver dams are central to her lake work, as is the rocky shoreline typical of pre-Cambrian country.

An Edmonton artist has reason to be proud of her accomplishments. Nancy Desjarlais Bailey has just been awarded first and third place in the Peace Hills Trust Eleventh Annual Native Art Contest.

"I was very surprised," said Bailey. "I didn't think the piece that won, would, because of the title."
