Name? Connie Christensen - doo wadda wadda art.

Why birds? I don't really know! I paint robins, chicks, chickens, seagulls and bluebirds of happiness. They often have an attitude.

Favourite bird? I like robins. Sometimes I paint them in something that looks like a snowy background. To me they represent hope.

What book? I just finished 'Breaking Night-A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard' by Liz Murray. Got it out of the library! Now I am reading 'The Cellist of Sarajevo' by Steven Galloway.

Happiest colour? Hmmmm. I like colour. Lots of colour. If I had to pick one, I'd pick yellow. . . or gold. . . or red. . .

Favourite section of library? The HOLD section. When a friend recommends a book, I easily look it up in the library catalogue using my home computer, put a hold on it, it's sent to the library of my choice and then I go get it. Easy.
