Cindy Mawle

Cindy Mawle - Artist’s biography
Cindy grew up in the small community of Sooke BC on the southern end of Vancouver Island, amongst a playground of forests and beaches. Her adventurous, independent and determined nature as a child evolved into the driving force behind her creativity today.,BR> Cindy’s main focus as a contemporary painter fills most of her time but since a young age has had an energetic passion for writing. Her report cards in elementary school tell of entertaining the whole class with her stories and “antics”. (rather than paying attention to the lessons)
Over the years Cindy has filled private notebooks with poetry, stories, life’s elations and frustrations these of which are tucked away in drawers to be perhaps drawn upon in later years. She has plans to write and illustrate a children’s book (or two) in the future when time will allow. Cindy is inspired by the writings of Emily Carr and her style of “painting with words.” “When I read Emily Carr I am so incredibly inspired. She speaks my language as she gruffly challenges me from beyond to take command of my pen and follow her lead.”
Cindy works full time out of her home studio and exhibits her paintings in various galleries on Vancouver Island. She is a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. For more information go to:

Brenda Moguez

Brenda Moguez is a native Los Angelino, with a medium size stint in the UK spanning years. She survived one major and two minor bombings by the IRA, discovered real cheese that for her was a big deal as for years she thought it came in a box, wrapped in foil. She went mad for the Marks and Spencer’s knickers and West End theater offerings. Brenda also lost her Latin olive coloring and became pasty British white – she refers to this period of her life as her English Stepford days. Brenda now resides north-east of San Francisco, has two kids, two cats, two cars and several pairs of ‘one size fits all’ pantyhose she bought in a fashionable London Department store that stop half way up her ‘bum’. She figures when she can pull the ‘one size fits all’ hose over her bum she will have body perfection. Secretly she is betting the odds against this red-letter day. Brenda is working on her first novel, and has countless short stories under her belt. She found writing to be a cure all for most if not all of life’s aliments. She writes passionately in her journal to a fictional character serving a life sentence in Changi prison. Dear Diary never worked. Email: Brenda Moguez

Tracy Myers

Tracy Myers has been performing for live audiences for over 20 years and performed spoken word solo for the first time in 1993. It was a powerful experience for her and since then, her fiery brand of feminist musings and commentary on a world gone mad has been performed at venues up and down Vancouver Island.
Tracy is also a drummer/percussionist and her musical studies include two years at the jazz program in Nanaimo, B.C. as well as travels to West Africa, Cuba and Brazil to explore rhythm.
Tracy is the founder of Tongue and Groove, “The idea behind Tongue and Groove is that the music, the groove is as important as the text. The music allows listeners to open up and let’s them hear new ideas- new ideas that may even challenge them quite a bit.” Challenging listeners is what Tracy is all about- whether it is a rant about misplaced Canadian pride or a tribute to lost friend- audiences can count on Tracy to speak her mind.
