Photo Caption: Mechanicsville Community Association (MCA) was pleased to provide a Letter of Support for the property owner at 93 Carruthers in order to obtain a permit for a mural to be painted by artist, Daniel Martelok. This mural is located on Carruthers and Lyndale Avenue and was unveiled this past summer. MCA would also like to recognize the property owner, Blair Simser, who has redeveloped this property into attractive, affordable housing units. This rental property has also attracted great residents to the community of Mechanicsville. Kitchissippi could do with more property owners like this one.

The Artists this month:
Literary artist is Janice Tait a published author with a book entitled “The Devil’s Snare” on her experience living in Vietnam with her husband Richard who was working in External Affairs. She is now putting together a chap book of vignettes written over the last 40 years, some of which she will share with you.
Visual artist is Ruth Tait a professional painter. She also has years of observational drawing to work as a storyboard artist. Painting remains an anchor for strength, renewal and a way back to the natural world for her. Her engagement with the Unitarian faith is an extension of that spiritual path.
Musical artist Is Ruby Jin. As an avid recitalist and chamber musician, Ruby Jin performs regularly at various venues across Canada, such as Music and Beyond Festival and DOMS series in Ottawa, plus events in Edmonton, Vancouver, and Montreal. She has also appeared in international musical scenes in China, South Korea, Germany, and UK. In recent years, she has been exploring new music, premiering a number of chamber and solo works.
