ABOUT
The Authors
Robert G. Proudfoot is a professional technical writer and environmental scientist who has also been a creative writer most of his life. He has written several essays and short stories about his experiences and learnings, particularly cross-cultural (with African, Muslim, or indigenous people) or social struggles (justice with mercy, marginalization of people, and a fair-trade market place). He writes about things that are difficult to explore, share, and articulate, such as human rights abuses, mental illness, racism, and poverty.
Robert lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with his wife Valerie (a recreational director for people with disabilities) and elder daughter Annora (a massage therapist). They enjoy living in this vibrant, multicultural city, which intentionally walks in reconciliation and collaboration with indigenous peoples and newcomers. Alicia Proudfoot, an emerging sculpturer, creative writer and musician, is completing her Master’s Degree in Fine Arts at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax.
Norma Proudfoot (1926 to 2015), raised in Alberta’s “Peace River Coun- try”, was a school teacher, mother of seven children, world traveler, and cre- ative writer. Norma self-published her autobiography “Roses on Our Trap- door”, and co-edited “First Presbyterian Church, Edmonton: A History”, written in 2004 by Dr. Kenneth Munro.Robert feels that with the unique reality of three generations of his family actively involved creating art, they should celebrate by sharing with others and helping them to explore and expand their own artistic talents. He believes he and his family are humble creators, who understand that God has given them whatever talents they have to share with others and thus edify Him.
