As
Canadians we share the pride of one of our own achieving recognition
on the world stage. It has never mattered what the field may be,
whether it was music with such world stars as Nickleback, Buble,
Levine, Furtado or Bieber. Hollywood has seen the talent of Canadian
actors in the likes of John Candy, Christopher Plummer, Donald
Sutherland, Micheal J. Fox, Rian Gosling, Rachel McAdams, Ellen Page
and so many more. Whether in the field of the arts, sport or even
world politics, it was Canada's Lester B. Pearson who was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless work during the Suez Crisis, we
stand up and cheer for our Canadian achievement with pride.
Mayorgate's
own Alexandra Davidoff, an artist all readers are familiar with has
entered an international art competition, and she is the only
Canadian entry. The Global Art Awards, (GAA) are conducted annually
by the Global Art Agency of Amsterdam Holland. Alexandra Davidoff is
the only Canadian artist competing for the Best Global Artist of the
Year 2012 award.
Alexandra's
caricatures provide a visual extension to each article, yet each
stands on its own. She has avoided the cliche of extending physical
features and has chosen instead to provide a visual commentary worthy
of discussion and thought. But her talents extend far beyond these
caricatures as you can see for yourself. Alexandra is a self-taught
artist who began as we all do with stick people. Though most of us
never surpass such artistic achievements by adding anything more to
the sticks, Alexandra has spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours
sharpening her natural talent.
The
result of all the hours spent is her entry in the Global Art Awards
titled Futuristic
Fishnet.
Alexandra's paintings hang on the front of our home and traffic
often slows down to look and passers by stop to view the vivid
expressions of life brought to blank canvas.

Great , and i'd like to vote however i'm not going to create a FACEBOOK account is there another link sans FACEBOOK?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we have no control on the format that the Global Art Agency has decided upon for the public participation process. Facebook is the only possible way to vote and I can understand that no one would want to start one simply for this. If I can be bold as to suggest telling a friend with Facebook, other than that we thank you for your support.
