“If you find something you love it’s so exciting. Your brain is a bowl of energy. It gives you such passion for life. That is the power of creativity.” ~ Thelma Pepper
Thelma Stevens Pepper was born in 1920 in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. In 2020, from her adoptive home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, she reflects on a century of life, love, passion and creativity as seen through the lens of her camera, and that of her father and grandfather before her.
In middle age, in the depths of depression, Thelma discovered her true artistic nature, embarking on a creative journey with enough energy and passion for another lifetime. In her poignant black and white photographs spanning the continent from the Bay of Fundy to the windswept prairies to Haida Gwaii, we see more than a century of hopes and hardships ~ we see how creativity can inspire human connection and transform lives.
