The Faces behind Emotive Expressions

Ona K (artist and photographer)

I have been painting professionally since 2008. I work mainly in watercolour, pen and ink or a combination of both. I specialize in portraiture of people and animals but enjoy the more creative aspects of art as well. I have had some of my more creative pieces as well as portraits juried into regional, national and international watercolour exhibitions. I also enjoy painting landscapes and still lifes.

I am a qualified teacher B Ed. (Hons) who is certified by the Ontario College of Teachers and the General Teaching Council of England to work with children and adults. Working with deaf students 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.
