The painting, All Poets Are Naked, tells the story of poets who are all members of a Spoken Word Poetry Group. It speaks to the idea that poetry often addresses topics that require baring of the soul. This piece has been developed over many years and was painted over an original that had taken a very different approach. Some of the original painting remains as a reminder of how our visions change, our plans change and our final products bare the fruit of experience and new perspectives. This piece is the cover of a poetry book by Alexis Rhone Fancher.

Kenna Barradell
Pender Island, British Columbia
Kenna Barradell is a multimedia artist whose creations paint vivid narratives reflecting the events and attitudes prevalent within communities and society—a form of social commentary inviting discussion about difficult social and political issues. The majority of her works are large-scale acrylic paintings on linen.
"Ideas about community and social life inspire me to paint. The painting comes together as I work on the canvas completely from my imagination, very much like an author who writes fiction develops characters as she writes."
