“Wild Women is an extraordinary collection of brilliant work that captures a uniquely Canadian wilderness. Burkholder, Haycock and Sorensen are talented artists, original and dedicated. One could spend many an enchanted hour turning the pages of this beautiful book. Wild Women may well become a collector’s edition. Bravo on this publication!”– Sandra Gulland, international best-selling author of the Josephine B. Trilogy and other works”It is refreshing to see the work of a group of women stimulated by the drama of the wilderness in Ontario. Such colour! Such dramatic brush strokes!” Observing nature is always important and these women have represented her majesty brilliantly.”– Birgit Freybe Bateman, photographer”An art book that goes far beyond art — the personal story of three remarkable painters whose lives are intertwined with the natural world. Their stunning portrayals of Ontario’s magnificent wilderness areas become an eloquent and timely plea for landscape preservation.”– Janet Foster, nature photographer and f ilmmaker”This book brings Algonquin’s wild land- scape vividly to life. A compelling and thought-provoking collection that makes a powerful plea for the conservation and protection of the gifts of nature.”– Louise Maffett, former Executive Director, The Royal Canadian Geographical Society
