Meet the Artist: Saturday, April 18, 1-3 pm

In my art practice, I am interested in camouflaging history and ideology in an ironic and often humorous way. Since I moved to Canada in 1993 I was fascinated with the new culture I found myself in and I explored a lot in the area of pop-culture and consumerism.

As an artist, I like to explore the construction of identity, and its cultural and social implications.

24th Annual International Women’s Day Art Show: On The Edge

February 08, 2020 to June 30, 2020

Mulcahy Family Gallery, OMAH

Since its inception in 1997, this art show has inspired hundreds of women artists to participate in highly dynamic exhibitions, exploring a wide range of media and themes.

In celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8), the show’s goal is to encourage women to express themselves artistically in a themed group exhibit, which is not juried and therefore inclusive.

The spirit if the exhibition is one of affirmation and co-operation.
