Billie Rae Busby is one of my favourite artists. Her hard-edge painting technique has created some incredible striking abstract images of the prairie skies and mountain views that surround her home of Calgary. In addition to her work being featured in galleries and exhibitions across Canada, she has been commissioned to produce works of art for the public, including public murals and street installations, as well as a specially created carpet installation at Canada House, home of the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom.

Billie and I talk about our shared experiences from our time at the University of Saskatchewan, her transition from a marketing and communications professional into a full-time artist, as well as the role of producing her art has contributed to her mental wellness.
