Hi all,
I’m Rita Donn.
This is my last year studying the Post-degree diploma in Romance Languages in
French and Spanish at VIU. I’m currently teaching Spanish 7,8 at two
francophone schools up island: one in Campbell River and the other in Comox,
where I live.
I painted this
landscape several years after I returned from studying high school and living
in Sant Cugat del Vallés, Spain, where I have left behind several of my
cousins. Behind the mountains lies Barcelona, only a 20 min. train ride away or
an hour by car along a treacherous winding highway. In a way this explains how
so many cultures in Spain were allowed to keep their own identity, as they were
well isolated and protected from surrounding communities by the physical
geography.
I look forward
to learning more about the history of the diverse cultural groups that make up
Spain and that have fought throughout time to maintain their differences in
language and culture.
Looking forward to reading your
posts,
Rita
