Whitchurch-Stouffville Art in the Park

Betty Zhang

"Living on 3 continents and exploring new places through travel has had a great impact on my work and fuelled my evolution as an artist through exposure to different cultures. I am currently a Toronto based artist and designer. Art-making, for me, is a way of illustrating the world as if it was under a microscope. I seek to establish detailed applications across multiple scales. The texture in my artwork is a way to conserve the process; a process of making art, and a process of thought." I earned a Bachelor of Design at OCAD University in Toronto, Canada. 2011 was the year when art began to feel a lot like breathing. During a year-long stay in Florence, Italy, I studied the Renaissance and focused on my independent work. I am now combining this fine art experience with my design background.
