Best Friends Sculpture

Ingrid has spent most of her life in Toronto, Canada. She was moved to create art from a very young age, drawing wildlife and developing an appreciation for nature. Apart from some training in a commercial art program, Ingrid is largely self-taught in fine arts. She honed her skills through courses and workshops at Sir Wilfred Laurier University, Haliburton School of Art, and The Art Gallery of Ontario and as a member of the Willowdale Group of Artists. With a keen eye for texture and relief, together with a need to experiment and push the boundaries with acrylic and a multitude of mediums, Ingrid has created art that speaks to a variety of social/political issues. Some recent comments about her art include adjectives like; beautiful, powerful, strange, and dramatic...strangely compelling to look at. “Ingrid, this has captured how I've been feeling the last two days. Deeply profound.” Her favorite artists include: Van Gough; Daly; Matisse; Vladimir Kush.
