The Faces behind Emotive Expressions

Ona K (artist and photographer)

I moved with my family to Canada from the UK in 2005 and work part time as a teacher of the deaf. Working in this field has helped me to develop a strong understanding of how feelings, emotions and knowledge can be communicated in ways other than language. By paying attention to visual details and watching out for even the most subtle visual cues, communication at many levels can take place even when language is limited. When creating works of art I aspire to draw on this experience to create art that gives and communicates inner feeling as well as external appearance.

My favorite mediums are pen and ink and watercolor, but I also enjoy using both color and graphite pencils, acrylics and exploring shape, texture, pattern and form in photography. I try to choose the medium that I feel will be most effective for the subject I am capturing.

In addition to pet commissions I have also been commissioned to design and paint murals on walls, design sets for theatrical musicals, and design and paint themed children's bedrooms.
