Village Squire, 1979-12, Page 21says. During the theatre season, she says, it's catch as catch can
and she's also got to try to keep time for her home and her son.
A victim of the time squeeze has been her own desire to paint
watercolours. When she went to the Ontario College of Art she
took a general first year course which included a little of
everything because she didn't know what she wanted to get into.
She was torn between two directions, three-dimensional
industrial design and drawing and painting. She chose the latter
because it gave her the broadest basis for the understanding of
art. But she hasn't had time to paint for years and every time she
visits an art exhibition she has the urge to rush home and start,
she says with a smile.
Still she's surrounded by art, some of valuable far beyond
what she could afford today. While at OCA she was friends with
famous London artist Greg Curnoe and is the proud possessor
of two portraits by him, one of herself and a self portrait. She
also has some of her old watercolours and costume sketches from
the theatre to decorate the walls of the elegant brick cottage in
the older section of the city only a block or so from the Avon
River.
She'd like to devote more of her time to art. She is currently
working toward three dimensional art. Her first step in that
direction is a screen made of brass mounted on wood decorated
in her favourite water lily motif. She'd like to do more sculpture,
Ms. Bohdanetzky says, but she would also like to earn a living
from her work and the two don't necessarily go hand in hand.
She may not be to the point where she can earn a living from
her other occupation outside the theatre but she seems to be on
the way, particularly with the attention showcases like the King
Tut have brought her. In the meantime in her two careers, her
family, then renovating of her old antique -filled home she's got
more than enough to keep her busy.
