My ‘Doges of Venice’… that means peers, and guards

I toured the Vatican Halls and St-Peter’s Basilica in May 2000, among many other churches in Italy and France in 1999 and 2000 as well.

I have been to historic churches, museums and monuments in Canada, the US, and other places as well.

This is a privilege.

Who is it a privilege for?

I have been made Diocese by the Vatican. (It means Doctrine – Specialist Doctor-Decorum of Religion, Tradition and History). As well, it is for my knowledge in all kinds of different cultures and religions, in the name of peace. I go where angels fear to tread! But that is just a joke. My new name is Archangel Alicia; “Seabreeze”; or Jasmine – guardian of the gardens.

This is very rare.

The prerequisite is near impossible.

When I went to Italy in 1999, I was explained about it… and knowing me, I probably thought I wanted to achieve it as a goal, and thought of how hard it must be to get there, in years, and over my artistic career.

What happens is, that I discover new information, or solve art historical “puzzles”, or the artists finally speak up, after my original assessment and post.

Sometimes I even get confused and forgetful about pieces I made! (No joke! I have a huge artistic output, and with my number of shows, and styles, and production rate; I am at the top.)

It is a very big job to clean things up all the time, all over the tabs and galleries. So some of it gets done, sometimes it doesn’t, or other times I feel I should not correct words from their original poetry aspects anyways.

My website, my home, my shows, my collection, my Fine Arts trips, training, studies, etc, make a cultural institution as a Canadian National (because I take pride in my homeland) and of the world.

I have museum status, cultural institution status, library status, treasury status, I am called the Royal of Canada, but even so I am the descendant of Jacques Cartier, and I am considered a diplomat-VIP wherever I go.
