family passion for art. He has hopes to break into the field of graphic art and design and he has his mother cheering him on. “He is so good,” Galand said. “He has such a good imagination.” Since her own first attempts at art as a child, Galand has experimented with various media over the years. She favours acrylic painting, which also demands that she work fast given the quick-drying characteristic of acrylic paint. “There are many tricks you can use,” she said, explaining how she compensates for UIFGBTUESZJOHOBUVSFPGIFSNFEJVNi:PV can work in layers.” Galand tries to dedicate at least 15 minutes each day to her art. She finds that working in acrylic helps stimulate her creativity even as it also demands that she learn to relax as she works. Painting is the best outlet she finds for her creative passion. “It’s a way to capture the beauty that we have in life,” she said. “Each paining that I do, there’s some sort of emotional attachment.” For her own amusement, she enjoys doing pet portraits because “they’re so cute.” Just as her mother encouraged her pas- sion for art, Galand does the same for others during private or group instruction sessions on painting. “Especially with teenagers,” she said. “Everybody has a talent. They just need to have a little confidence.” .*) GPOEÊFO PQÍSFVOSFGVHF pour les femmes victimes de violence à )BXLFTCVSZ*MZBÊHBMFNFOUEFTCVSFBVY et une friperie à Alexandria.

For Caroline Galand, there is a special meaning in having some of her paintings on exhibit at the Plantagenet Public Library. “This was my childhood library,” she said, smiling. “It’s pretty exciting.” Galand is one of the most recent local artists to have her work put on display as part of the Alfred-Plantagenet Library Com- mittee’s Art in the Libraries project. The 47-year-old Plantagenet resident is not a newcomer to the art world. For the past few years she has done a number of commissioned works, many of them lands- capes done as a specific request. With those works, she has one condition before she can pick up her brush. “I need to know the story,” she said. “Why is this so important for someone to have?” Getting to “the heart” of things is impor- tant to Galand, both in her painting and also in her career as a registered nurse, first at Ottawa General Hospital and later at Ottawa’s Institut de cardiology. She’s been a nurse for more than two decades, including the one-and-a-half years she spent in specialized training as a cardiology nurse. i.ZGBUIFSIBEBIFBSUBUUBDLXIFO*XBT 15,” she said, explaining her career choice JOOVSTJOHi#FJOHBOVSTFJTTQFDJBM:PVSF there for people in those special moments when they need comforting.

La bibliothèque publique de Plantagenet était l’endroit préféré de Caroline Galand lorsqu’elle était enfant. Il est donc tout à fait approprié que la bibliothèque devienne le lieu d’exposition de certaines de ses peintures de paysages dans le cadre du projet L’art dans les bibliothèques du Comité de la bibliothèque d’Alfred-Plantagenet.

Her mother and her maternal aunts and uncles all share a passion for art, a passion they helped pass on down to and inspire in Galand. Her own son, Lane, shares this
In Galand’s case, she may be equally passionate about being a nurse and about her art. She became serious about art when she was 11 and had the good fortune that
