"I made the original painting 'Blossom' for the 4th Annual Supersonic show that opened at Spoke Art this past January. The painting was less about a deeper theme and more about exploring a different direction with my work. I like to bring in graphic elements from time to time and this painting was all about that aesthetic. Kind of a Mucha-esque inspiration. Since then I've been enjoying the style in quite a few newer works. I find it beautiful and fun to play around with, especially when I get to contrast the flat, brighter colours of acrylic alongside the richer skin tones in oil." - Sarah Joncas

Sarah Joncas was born in 1986 and grew up in both Hamilton and Niagara Falls, Ontario. Her interest in the visual arts developed at an early age, starting with the dedicated drawings of dinosaurs and lizards. Eventually the study and enjoyment of working from existing images stirred up the need in Sarah to create images of her own; ones that could reflect the world, yet also appease the personal feelings/ideas that she herself maintained. With this, her direction changed gradually from the world of animation, towards a path in fine art. Sarah recently graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design's BFA program.
