The Junction Arts Festival takes place this weekend up in the Junction. (It’s one of the best neighbourhood festivals in the city, so if you’ve never been, you should go.)
Tia is a painter and student at OCAD, but the work she’s got up at Latitude 44 suggests a mature artist, not a student.
“I started off doing my monoprinting as an expression of self-purification and kind of like a therapy, taking problems friends were experiencing and using the psychology of colour to create the works,” says Tia.
“I’ve sold three of them, two of my smaller prints, and one of my larger ones, which was part of the Local Option Arts Awards. I hope to sell more, if people are interested. I have one big one up, and I have three smaller ones. During the Junction Arts Festival on Saturday and Sunday I’ll be demonstrating my technique. Saturday from 3 to 6, on Sunday from 4 to 7.”
