Artist Julia Penny started the year by creating one of her largest projects ever, portraits of the 47 victims of the Lac-Megantic train disaster. The artist from Winnipeg Beach was inspired to draw these people when she started a double portrait of the 2 youngest victims and then explored the stories of them all. Julia intends to donate the portraits to the Town and to the families affected. The pencil portraits will be in a show at The Cre8ery Gallery from March 20 - April 1. 140316 - Sunday, March 16, 2014 - (MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS)
