Lifelong Learning Journeys
Four paintings were inspired from my children’s book, Meennunyakaa / Blueberry Patch (Theytus Books, 2019). They toured alongside the acrylic on paper mock-ups (9X12”) through galleries and are now permanently on display in the Taylor Institute atrium. This video explains the artistic process and tells the story of the four paintings.

The paintings represent the four hills of life and lifelong learning: Conception / Child, Youth, Adult and Elder. The blueberries in the paintings are representative of lessons we learn throughout our lives. Throughout our journeys, we’re picking blueberries that are like little lessons and teachings that we’re collecting in our baskets of knowledge.
Many of us have experienced the incredible impact of and connections to Dr. Jennifer Leason’s artwork in the Taylor Institute - Lifelong Learning Journeys. Jennifer has created an animated Lifelong Learning video to accompany the work - and it is SPECTACULAR! Huge thanks to Jennifer for continuing to share her many gifts!
