Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Caprice Hogg aired July 28th
We live in a world of assumption and judgment and we do not look further into what is possible from within ourselves and others. We are all capable of being great we all are given a gift that is our purpose, and no matter what life’s challenge is, we can embrace that path for it is our destiny. Caprice who has Muscular Dystrophy but does not let anything hold her back from the wonderful divine path chosen for her with her art.
Caprice first picked up her paintbrush in 1994 and quickly discovered a hidden talent. She studied with artists Karen Hersey and Keith Smith and soon found herself in a world of colourful oils, shapes, and art techniques. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge of art has become an obsession as Caprice eagerly reads each and every art book she can get her hands on.
In 1998, Caprice’s first solo exhibition gave her the confidence and courage to pursue painting as a full-time career. She has continued to exhibit on an ongoing basis and her works are now in private and corporate collections in Western and Eastern Canada, the United States, Europe, and New Zealand. Caprice works and exhibits her paintings from her Studio Gallery located in Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada.
Caprice prefers selling directly to her clients, as it allows her to get to know the unique people who purchase her work. You are welcome to view Caprice’s paintings at her Studio Gallery in Kimberley, British Columbia.
Caprice feels privileged to be able to use her talent to help others. She has donated several paintings to organizations such as Muscular Dystrophy Canada, Wildsight Environmental Society, In-Definite Arts Society which supports art programs for people with developmental disabilities, and “Reaching E-Quality Employment Services” which assists people with disabilities to find full-time employment. For two consecutive years, Caprice was commissioned by the Variety Club of British Columbia to produce a painting for their annual “Show of Hearts” Telethon to benefit children with special needs. She was also commissioned, along with five other prominent Canadian women artists, to produce a painting for the Canadian Foundation for Women’s Health. Caprice is a strong advocate for the environment, animal rights and natural health, all of which are reflected in her lifestyle.
In 2005, Caprice was honoured by her high school, The Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, with their “Wall of Distinction” Award, along with Olympic gold medal hockey player Billy Gibson. This lifetime achievement award acknowledges career accomplishments and humanitarian efforts. Caprice received yet another honour in 2011, this time from her elementary and junior high school, St. Joseph’s School when she was inducted on to their “Wall of Fame” in Coaldale, Alberta.
Teaching art has become another passion for Caprice. Passing on the knowledge that was passed on to her is certainly an important part of her career. Working with children has been especially rewarding, as their innocence and imagination is inspiring! In 2011, Caprice had a great experience teaching “at risk” teenagers at the Kimberley Alternate School and hopes to do more in the future.
Whenever the opportunity arises, Caprice does venture past her studio door and travels to not only see new landscapes but also to art galleries and museums in Canada and abroad. She finds them most illuminating and maintains a level of inspiration.
Unable to physically walk through forests and climb steep mountains, Caprice calls upon the powers of her imagination to experience their beauty and majesty. Her vibrant colours and bold strokes reflect her strong connection to mother nature. Looking at a Caprice painting is the next best thing to being there!

Saras View on Life with Sara Troy aired July 21st-27th
We hear so many stories these days on corrupt police and of the down and out communities in our city’s, but this is a story of dignity, of caring for each other, of looking out for each other. When you give a dam, spend some time with people and DON’T JUDGE, you see humanity uniting to support each other. Thank you Staff Sgt. Mark Horsley for seeing life as it can be.
Vancouver Police Department Vancouver police Staff Sgt. Mark Horsley went undercover in the Downtown Eastside in May and June 2015 as a wheelchair user in an attempt to find a person who is attacking people in wheelchairs.
A veteran Vancouver police officer went undercover as a wheelchair user with a brain injury in an attempt to catch those responsible for a spate of violent attacks on people in wheelchairs since January 2014.
Equipped with a $16,000 wheelchair borrowed from GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre and a backstory that he became an incomplete quadriplegic in a motorcycle accident, Staff Sgt. Mark Horsley spent five days and nights in the Downtown Eastside leaving himself vulnerable to an attack.
“Essentially our operator was our bait, and we were trying to catch the predator,” Insp. Howard Chow said at a news conference Thursday.
Despite intentionally leaving cash hanging out of his fanny pack, he wasn’t robbed or attacked. Instead, Horsley was surprised and inspired by the volume of kindness and compassion he received from the community.
Two young men talked to him and returned an hour later with pizza. One man bent down to zip up his fanny pack. In more than 300 interactions, some of which involved bartering, no one took advantage of him or took any of his money – in fact, he walked away $24 richer.
“I was ready to be victimized. Our plan was just to take whatever the assault or the robbery was… I was really taken by the politeness, the courteousness,” said Horsley, who has been going undercover since 1986.
“In the DTES I found that far more people would get down to my level to talk to me,” he said, adding people would often check if he had someone to care for him.
Police didn’t find the person or people responsible for the 28 attacks on people in wheelchairs over the past 18 months (21 assaults, six robberies and one sexual assaults), the majority of which occurred in the Downtown Eastside.
But they aren’t considering this a failed operation. Instead, they’re using it as a chance to draw attention to the fact that it’s not just the police watching out for people who use wheelchairs – it’s the entire community.
“Part of what we’re doing, bringing awareness to a despicable person that might commit a crime like this,” Horsley said. “It’s an entire community that is supporting the vulnerable.”

Walt Lawrence, a peer support worker who has used a wheelchair for 46 years after a diving accident, helped coach Horsley to use the chair. He called Vancouver fortunate to have such caring and compassionate individuals and said he feels bad for the perpetrator who has fallen to that level.
Ian Denison of GF Strong agreed. “If these perpetrators get wind of the video, they might be thinking twice.”
NEVER JUDGE, NEVER TURN A BLIND EYE, NEVER ASSUME, AND NEVER STOP CARING FOR EVERYONE NO MATTER THEIR SITUATION.
