Danielle and I complete our conversation on the emotional struggle of the racial divide created in her family when her daughter married our son. Art can illustrate life and her book, “Still Time on Pye Pond”, tells her story in stunning images. Danielle also gives her suggestions for families struggling with similar situations and reminds us that there is still hope for reconciliation if we do not give up. She and her husband started the Brandon Fellowship for young artists to help young artists of color get a start in their careers.

Her works and book can be found on her website.

In her book, Still Time on Pye Pond, author Danielle Fontaine tells the story of how she has dealt with the racial rift in our family that developed when her daughter married our son. The resulting inter-racial union brought out a demonstration of racism that shocked the entire family. Danielle tells how she found voice in her photographs and encaustic artworks resulting in the book that documents and expresses, in part, her emotions and pain.
