Autoren-Porträt von Leonora Diepenbeck
Leonora (also known as Leona) was born in the country near Andrew, Alberta, Canada. Times were difficult....so at the age of 16 she relocated to Edmonton, Alberta, where she furthered her education at Alberta and McTavish Colleges. She was employed as a medical dicta-transcriptionist, primarily within the medical milieu with and for some of the best, in spite of her profound hearing loss.In the prime of her life, this all ended abruptly, when she was struck down by a transport vehicle and became a victim of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to her failing health issues, physically and psychologically, this put an end to her working career, followed by the loss of a beautiful country estate, and ultimatelyher marriage. The effects of the accident and losses prevailed, but she didnt give-up.
Being a lover of nature, she enrolled in an Art Class, creating almost 100 oil and watercolor scenic paintings in ala prima technique......with perseverance and some highly qualified instruction. Although she struggled with frequent spasmodic attacks, these were subdued while she was distracted by and engrossed in her Art Work.....It was a form of therapy for her and helped her heal from trauma, a little.
Leona became an enthusiastic artist, and has previously been a member of the Art Society of Strathcona County and subsequently the Art Gallery of Alberta, where she has shown some of her work. Due to a mobility problem requiring the use of a wheel chair at most times, she has been able to exhibit her work only minimally.
Leonora finds solace being in the countryclose to nature also being an ardent spectator of Art, in any medium or format, by some talented artists. She revels in the literacy of good literature, and is enraptured by some of the outstanding musical compositions, when she doesnt have an auditory malfunction. She finds great comfort in some endearing comradeships, especially that of her grandsons, Walker and Carson, fortified by the
