Mike McCardell, the legendary Vancouver reporter who tries to restore people's faith in living after they've finished watching the appalling mayhem on the evening news, is back with another collection of simple but irresistible stories: there are the ownerless shoes, sitting day after day in a washroom used mainly by big-time celebrities.

There is the roving women's fitness group that performs for a homeless man who lives in a shopping cart. There is the one that got away, always the best one.

This book brings together forty-two works spanning nearly three decades of Seattle artist Sherry Markovitz's remarkable development. It traces the evolution of her work from the obsessively beaded and extravagantly patterned taxidermy heads to the more subdued and haunting figurative paintings and doll sculptures. The work is intensely alive and transformative, its sources rooted in personal experience set in conversation with diverse cultural paradigms.

Throughout more than a quarter century of work, Markovitz has shown a remarkable consistency of vision, intensity of focus, and absolute acceptance of beauty, which she extends regularly to opulence. Through highly informative and engaging essays by Chris Bruce and Josine Ianco-Starrels as well as the artist's own commentaries, Sherry Markovitz: Shimmer provides the defining statement on this unique artist and her captivating work..
