Sentimentality seeps through. The work of artist Ian McMurrich was on my wishlist from the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit 2011 (TOAE).

MY FAVORITE PEOPLE: Darren Austin Hall
April 27, 2012 – 8:10 pm
I ‘experienced’ Darren Austin Hall (www.innertraditionshealing.com ) for the first time while doing a 40 day intensive yoga challenge.

I discovered her name, Gelareh Saadatpajouh, tickles your tongue when you say it. So appropriate! Gelareh was part of the [...]
FAVORITE PEOPLE: Christine Kim
April 24, 2012 – 1:23 am
Christine Kim was one of my top three favourite artists from The Artist Project Toronto.

The rebirth of cool and another (mod)el of upcycling ingenuity. Lia Fagan has landed upon a simple fix for those scads of lamps that turned up in every rec room in the seventies. If you are of my generation then maybe as a kid you were as mesmerized as me at the groovy spins and [...]
