Just Desserts, Yonge & Wellesley, July – September 2004, Toronto CAN

Starting July 12, 2004 my latest body of works will be on display till mid September at Just Desserts in the Yonge & Wellesley area in Toronto, Canada.
My continuing personal theme for these works are the “abstracted landscapes” which builds on the influences of specific Impressionists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Expressionist artist Matisse. These works and other works will be added to the web galleries near the end of the exhibit, but if you’re in the area I encourage you to stop by enjoy a cup of java and take in the scenery!

For those of you who are not local, here’s a sneak peek: photo1, photo2, photo3, photo4, photo5.

As part of the Human Rights Through Art Exhibition and Black History Month I was invited by the communications coordinator Melanie Vendrame of Coca-Cola to talk to the grade 7 and 8 students of Valley Park Middle School who were visiting on location (Toronto, CAN). The students and I discussed how important it is exercise your rights and to be an active participant in the community no matter how big or small. The students were most impressive in their knowledge and questions about human rights and I have to say it was fun spending time with them. They also had questions about my work as an artist and the arts in general. When asked why did I become an artist, I responded that in the arts you have the opportunity to communicate on a different level and if you have a dream then you most definitely have to reach for it. For the sky is not the limit and every voice needs to be heard.
