Martys 2009 interview

In August 2009 I was interviewed by the Mississauga Arts Council. I was nominated for Emerging Visual Artist for the 2009 Martys, and all nominees were interviewed. I adore MAC and they made me feel very comfortable in the AGM where they set up the camera...I was def more nervous the awards night. Maybe one day I'll hire them to set up another interview, which could be the start of my young autobiography...there are too many twists and magical moments to my life that may just have to be told. Someday.

Here's the video with the best parts from the footage that I made with iMovie.

Summer Art Class in Paradise

I organized another 'Art Day in Paradise' last Sunday. What an incredible group of artists! I must say, it is equivalent to bliss, eating, drinking, drawing and painting. And it goes far beyond that, as we share artistic visions with each other. The concept is similar to an open studio, with direction, and one of the coolest things is all acrylic paint materials are provided for by Tri-Art. I usually bring in other media (I love drawing mixed with painting) and really goal to make it as experimental and inspirational as possible. I'm an uber-curious person, I question everything! I believe experiments, samples and notes should be made.....like an artistic scientist in a mad lab! muahahaha.

I've booked another class for Sept '09 and was thinking about scheduling one every month! Stay tuned.....
