Powerful Women
March 8, 2010
March 8, 2010 – Today is International Women’s Day!
Take the time to tell all the wonderful women in your life how much you appreciate them.
I’d like to acknowledge 2 of the powerful women who coach for Movement to Health, Jennifer Foster and Sherry Carson.
Jennifer coaches our Beginner Runner class in Kanata, and is an accomplished portrait artist. Jennifer was commissioned to paint the official Olympic portrait of Clara Hughes. To see original portrait visit the 2010 Exhibition of Contemporary Portraits Canadian Olympic Athletes dialogue on Art, March 2-26, 2010, at John B. Aird Gallery, 900 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, M7A1C2, Canada; from March2-26, 2010. www.portraitsociety.ca
Jennifer Foster’s drawings and paintings stress an appreciation of the everyday world. They seek to capture and convey positive things found in everyday life: the peace and grandeur of the landscape, and the warmth, dignity, and inner strength of people. Portraits are a particular passion for her because of the opportunity they offer to capture seemingly conflicting elements. She believes that a portrait needs to be accurate and yet expressive, representational but also perceptive and open to what lies below the surface. A portrait, for Jennifer, is much more than a likeness. It should have a psychological component that explores the spirit of the individual and conveys something of his or her character.

Sherry coaches our Speed class and co-coaches the Trail running class in Kanata. Sherry competed in the World Master Games in Kamploops this past weekend, in the half-marathon event. Sherry placed second in her age category and fourth overall with a time of 1:28:19.2! Amazing! Here is the website for the Games.
Congratulations Ladies – what an inspiration you both are. Keep it up!
