Silvana BruniSilvana Bruni received her BFA Hons degree from York University in 1999 and has been developing and exhibiting her art extensively since then. Her work is held in numerous private collections in Canada, the U.S. and internationally, and can be found on book and music record covers. She was the recipient of the Honorable Mention Award for Mixed Media at the 2004 Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, and an Ontario Arts Council Grant for Emerging Artists this year of 2011.
Worn, battered drum skins (she's a drummer as well) and acrylic glass are Bruni's trademark canvases - the unique surfaces where her visual autobiographical narratives emerge. Informed and inspired by her own life, including the philosophy and practice of Zen Buddhism and yoga, Bruni's established oeuvre on glass and drum skins serves as the foundation for daily observations, dilemmas, insights and revelations.
