Phillippa Cranston Baran on her book Toller Cranston: Ice, Paint, Passion
Toller Cranston: Ice, Paint, Passion by Phillippa Baran, is a one-of-a-kind book that uses biography, interviews, letters, photography, and original artwork to bring to life the accomplishments and influences of one of the most compelling and inspirational people Canada has ever produced.
Toller’s sister Phillippa acknowledges that she could never have written this book if her brother were still alive. He would have demanded an utterly impossible work ethic and more flexibility with the truth than even she could accept. Nevertheless, she remains understanding of his quirks and fiercely proud of his talent. She is dedicated and committed to telling her brother’s stories and celebrating his life.
