-I’m Yolanda, an artist entrepreneur based out of Vaughan.
-I immigrated to Canada when in my teens, from Dubai.
-I studied the arts at Sheridan College & Digital Media Arts at Seneca college. Then got side tracked & spent a decade in health care, orthodontics to be exact!
-During that time I struggled with infertility & child loss, which made my pre-exisiting depression & anxiety far worse than I could manage.
-Creating & painting helped save me and ultimately I quit my day job in 2016 and made my side hustle a full time gig.
-My work has evolved a lot since I started and I can assure you I will still continue to change. I love all media, and work with water-colours, acrylic, resin and clay, to name a few.
