Re-Creative Spotlight: Krista WallaceIn this season one episode of Re-Creative, Mark and I chat with Port Coquitlam-based fantasy author, actor, and musician Krista Wallace. Krista has a remarkably varied creative footprint: she writes and records audiobooks inside her walk-in closet, sings in a couple of jazz groups (including the beautifully named Fat Jazz), and pays the bills by working as a standardized patient for the UBC Faculty of Medicine—meaning she channels her acting training to simulate specific illnesses for medical students under exam conditions.The inspiration for our conversation was a tiny, four-by-five-inch original watercolor by Burnaby artist Jane Appleby titled Tunnel Vision. Krista bought it years ago, later ran into the artist by pure coincidence at a youth baseball game, and ultimately used the painting as the direct blueprint for a pivotal, un-plotted underground journey in her fantasy series. We dug into how her background in jazz improvisation strips away the fear of the unknown, giving her the confidence to follow a narrative down a dark tunnel without a premeditated exit strategy. You can check out Krista’s novels and short stories on her website here. If the tale about Tunnel Vision intrigues you, then you should definitely read her trilogy, beginning with Gatekeepers Key. Her weekly podcast is called Totally Fantastic Title.Support the PainterAbove is the watercolor painting that inspired Krista, Tunnel Vision, by Burnaby artist Jane Appleby.Visit Jane Appleby’s website to see some of her more recent works.You can subscribe to six month’s worth of this podcast completely for free.
