This Illustration is for the tarot card "Ten Of Pentacles" for the Emerging Toronto Artist. For the past couple of years the Emerging Toronto Artist have designed a deck of tarot cards with each card being designed by a Toronto artist.
This card coming to me was divine intervention. I was having a bit of a rough time in life when I was assigned this card. My interpretation of this card was to bring out more of a youthful, strong & sensual aspect rather than the traditional old wise man. I chose a young strong Goddess figure, she has tattoos & runes symbolizing the attributes of the card such as Wisdom, Life, Love, Strength, Wealth, Heart & Luck.
I was born in Toronto, Canada (1983). I was raised in Jamaica and returned to Toronto at the age of 12.
In 2001 I studied Textile Design at Sheridan College Art and Design School. After a couple of years I realized that it was not the right path for me! In 2004 I attended George Brown College majoring in Fashion Design and graduating in 2006. I currently work as a freelance artist and designer in the GTA.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My ultimate goal as an artist is to interpret my inspiration in a new and interesting way, be it music, art, history, mythology or world culture.
I'm primarily a portrait artist in the style of urban realism. In my current work I use watercolour, gouache, ink, coloured pencil & graphite. Even though I am inspired by many things and I use a variety of mediums, the common threads you will see in some aspect of my work are texture, saturation and depth.
