Coming to Voice: Surviving an Abusive therapist
a memoir in third person by Bernadine Fox
more info
Ms. Sleeth was a well-known expert around child sexual abuse working with some of the most profoundly traumatized survivors.
Emma was one of Pam’s clients.
In October of 2015, a year after her death, a women’s sexual assault center in Vancouver BC announced an event to honor Sleeth's feminist work to end violence against women. Pamela had, at one point, saved Emma's life. She had also transformed into one of Emma's worst predators.
The space between Pamela’s impressive contributions and Emma’s experience of her is this memoir.

Bernadine's "Let's Eat Collection"
Bernadine combed her inventory of works and carefully selected paintings to become a part of the “Let’s Eat” collection. They are a paintings and prints about.... well, eating! Each one of them would make a perfect addition for any establishment where food is being served whether it is a public eatery or a private kitchen. A bright use of colour and energetic application of paint imbues these still-lifes with optimism bringing it to any room they hang. They inspire good appetites and the enjoyment of great food and good friends. What better milieu for areas designed for feasting and entertaining.
By weaving colours, objects, and words, Fox constructs enthnographic-based narratives in art as she examines contemporary cultural and explores the human condition through visual art, the written word, and facilitating discussions.
Sometimes, a still-life is not just a still-life.
