In this video, I had the opportunity to sit down with Shaw TV for an interview back in 2010. They were curious about my journey with using art to raise awareness for causes that are near and dear to my heart.
Specifically, I share my experience collaborating with Seva Canada, a non-profit organization that provides funding for preventable eye disorders in third-world countries.
But that’s not all – the video also delves into my personal connection with Arts Umbrella, an arts education center for youth that holds a special place in my heart. Not only did I donate a painting from my collection to this incredible organization, but it’s also the very place where I learned the foundations of painting, drawing, and seeing. It’s where I met some of my closest friends and most inspiring instructors.
Throughout the video, I also touch on my unorthodox approach to my art – I believe in breaking the rules and following my intuition, and it’s paid off in a big way. In fact, my work has won several awards, including a $28,000 scholarship to pursue my dream of attending art school in Boston, Massachusetts. I also discuss how the painting process is a form of meditation for me, and how it can become an obsession in the best possible way.
It’s truly amazing how art can help us communicate our ideas and emotions in a way that words sometimes can’t. Ultimately, I hope this video inspires you to check out Arts Umbrella and consider supporting their annual charity auction and gala. It’s a wonderful opportunity to give back to an organization that has helped so many children discover their own creativity and passion for the arts.
