A Glimmer of Hope around Recovery wieth Susi Milne

TRIGGER warning Talk about alcoholism and substance abuse along with sexual trauma as a young child. Some profanity during spoken word recital.

Bernadine chats with the effervescent Susi Milne about their recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse (Oxycodone and Ativan). There is literally no one who tells a story like Susi can and while taking you through her journey to rock bottom she is able to keep us laughing and entranced as she brings us to her their recovery.

Beyond recovery, Milne is a sober Canadian artist, philosopher and poet residing on the traditional unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsweilatuth Nations. Known for her drawings, watercolours, and mixed media art pieces, Milne's works range from paintings, paper and textile sculptures and video/photo-based art to poetry/performance art. Milne's eclectic practice is informed through life and work as "Living Art". Her twenty-something year career in the public service, lastly as a senior manager of emergency services is an achievement that she has documented as performance art. A dedicated and picturesque history with several founding artists run centres including a seminal performance curating Sniffy the Rat in the eighties (see same title under CBC Archives) Milne's on-going engagement with the robust Vancouver art community carries into the present day and informs her multi-media practice.

Milne has exhibited and performed her artwork and performance/poetry nationally and internationally over the years. Recently her multi-media video presentation QUANTUM SMACK has been included in https://digitalstories.ca/. Milne's work was featured in the IMAPON exhibition SPACE at McBride Park, Vancouver. An on line exhibition PERSONA through IMAPON LOCO MOTO Arts (https://imapon.org/Co-Vid-EO/); features eighteen watercolour/pen and ink paintings that were all sold into private collections during covid.. Daily creative media content is published on her Instagram #tibbedragon777, and on her dedicated Instagram art page #susimilne777artwork.

Milne lives gratefully and in the heavenly bliss of her handmade art abode overlooking the seaside of the Pacific Northwest coastal mountain range as she recovers outloud.
