Meet Heather LaBrecque
Hi, hello! My name is Heather LaBrecque and I had been blessed with the opportunity to be creative during a time of deep grief, although when I began this process, I wasn’t into that grief just yet. I was in a place of new wonder and enjoyment. After being single for quite some time, I met my life partner, now, my wife.
Nectar
I was open to a flow of sweet nectar, which is why I wanted to represent nectar as my art piece. This card to me is about the abundance of love, of life, of creativity. It is juicy and delicious! It represents life to the fullest and being in the flow of universal support.
Pollen
Honey, pollen and pearl were created during deep emotional work. By this time, my Daddio was ill, being in and out of the hospital. He surrendered and chose hospice so he could pass at home, with his loves around him, and with dignity. As art for the last twenty years has been healing for me and a way for me to process emotions and wounds, I dove in, creating, what I thought was my honey card. Yet it represented pollen. I couldn’t see it until Jackie Rushton pointed it out.
Honey
I was just creating and letting the work flow onto my paper but she was right. I feel the colors of pollen were the many thoughts I was trying to maneuver. I then began the process of creating the honey card. My Dad was moving closer to the end and there was a sense of community surrounding me. Honey is created by the community and their efforts as a group and supporting love filled this hive. Honey is nourishing and sweet, and that is what this community provided me.
Pearl
Finally, in a push, I created the pearl card. My Dad was peacefully on the other side now and my grief deep. I worked with what I knew of pearl, which wasn’t much. I put pen to paper and created a piece to me that seemed chaotic and out of sorts but what I ended up seeing was the sun shining and hope.
I never thought of myself as an artist, and I still don’t. What I am is creative in my own way. I use any materials I have on hand and don’t worry about specifics. The same can be said for healing. It can be found in many forms, absolute understanding, not essential.
Being a part of this beautiful project allowed for a collaboration of women to bring their art to others and for me to have a healing outlet while I processed all the feels. I am ever grateful to have these beautiful souls in my life and to be a part of this amazing, heartfelt project.
