Biography Sheila denaburg

Graduate of University of Manitoba and McGill University in History and Art, focused on Egyptian and Inuit Art. My thesis drew on the struggle of the Inuit Artist in Canada and beyond. Instinctively many of my ideas stem from this introduction as well as a great appreciation for symbolic, mythical and expressionistic art.

Toronto is bursting with art. The more I meet people so many more are artists. But in North York the talent of children outshines us all. Children are so encouraged through art and music as well as dance. Whereas they may be at times very discouraged in school or at home in some ways, not all. Art builds bridges between people and I think Toronto keeps making this connection. So I am proud being here. Now!
