Month: January 2026
Mia Burrus
This week we welcome Mia Musée Mia Burrus Mia is a writer and artist who lives in a restored one-room schoolhouse in the country north of Cobourg. But her passion is using words, images and found objects to explore the boundaries and spaces between what is spoken and silent, solid and ephemeral, known and unknowable, crafting poems, essays, and multi-dimensional, mixed-media artworks. Mia’s latest book, a memoir entitled As If Through a Window, was published in September 2025. This book, in a mix of genres, tells the intertwined tales of her father, and the cattle ranch that occupied half his life. Several of her assemblage artworks have been included in Juried Shows at the Colborne Art Gallery and Art Gallery of Northumberland. Her works may also be viewed at her own museum, her website!
Christopher Cameron
This week we are delighted to have Christopher Cameron join us for another visit.

A dozen years ago he began a new career as a freelance writer and editor. His first book, a memoir of his singing years, Dr.Bartolo’s Umbrella and Other Tales from my Surprising Operatic Life (Seraphim Editions), was published in 2017. His book of humorous fiction, Thorneside Stories: A Mix of Sun and Cloud (Iguana Books), was published in September 2022. This past fall, his one-act play Nail Polish – originally presented at the 2022 NFOTA – was performed at the Newmarket International Festival of One Act Plays, where its cast won a special award for their performance. He has written for and performed at Westben Centre for Connection and Creativity through Music, most recently a two-part presentation on hearing loss and music, a topic on which he has written extensively.
