“Life Is A Wonder” was created in celebration of my new life as a full time artist. When I first moved to Toronto I was completely in awe of the possibilities this large city might have for me. At that time I was inspired to create “New World Lights” which was an abstract representation of that feeling. Three years later I felt it might be time to express my new emotions through abstract artwork. I decided to create this mixed media painting as an after-work project in order to portray my absolutely bliss. Every day is exciting and passion filled; I am truly blessed. I hope you can feel the happiness and excitement when you view this original artwork.

Read the Feature
 
 
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Ravi Supaul saying that TOinitiative.ca would like to feature me! How incredible is that!? I quickly discovered that TOinitiative.ca is a community based initiative group highlighting Toronto’s leaders, founders and entrepreneurs. I was so honoured and excitedly agreed to take part. The feature includes some lovely photos of my artwork, a short biography, and a great interview including questions like "What is your daily routine?", "What are some of your career highlights?", and "What is your biggest obstacle?". If you want to learn more about me have a look at this awesome feature!

On Thursday October 3, 2013 I attended my very first Toronto art exhibit opening as a participating artist! Wow, did it feel incredible. "Hooked", a group art exhibition, is taking place at Moniker Gallery until this Thursday October 10, 2013. The collection of work being shown is just simply incredible and is definitely worth seeing in person. :)

The "Hooked" exhibition was extra special for me as it was my first time exhibiting during NUIT BLANCHE; a highly attended art festival that takes place throughout Toronto from 7:00pm to 4:00am (Saturday October 5, 2013)! I attended the show on this night as well and had the time of my life listening to incredible music, having a few glasses of wine, and enjoying the beautiful artwork that I honestly could never get sick of. It was a night to remember.

I hope you can make it to "Hooked" before Thursday to see my work in person as well as the work of many other talented artists. :)
