RUNA GEDAM is an Edmonton based visual artist who paints with her fingers to create visual pieces of art in oils. When she first moved to Canada, she was pleasantly surprised by the slower pace of life and awed by the natural splendor of the land. Winters offered a time for solitude and quiet reflection. In this stillness, she started visualizing in detail the world full of colors, chaos, and movement she had experienced in India interspersed with the beauty of this new world, both of which became the subject of her paintings. Through her art, she hopes to give people a sense of joy, a visual treat for their eyes, and a moment to lose themselves in a world of her imagination.
