About Me

Hi,

My name is Iva and I am an artist from Toronto. I am 26 and work in the corporate world by day and paint by night. Currently exploring new and fun techniques and trying to grow as an artist.

I have a beautiful cat that is in constant need of my attention, but I love him more for it. I run a little Etsy shop (ivaart) and am trying slowly make it as a full time artist.

I love * dark chocolate and coffee * spending time with family and friends * dancing the night away * relaxing by water * shopping * reading * hiking * trees, birds, butterflies *and more

Favorite Crafts

My number one love is acrylic painting. My style is a bit abstract and subject matter ranges from fully abstract to realism.

When I discovered mixed media I fell in love and have been addicted ever since. It all started with ATCs and then moved on to bigger pieces.

I am about to start knitting again, sewing, embroidering and well the list goes on of the things I am about to get started on...

I also make greeting cards, lip balm, accessories and jewelry.

My favorite colours are red, blue, black and purple. I love the combination of red and white, purple and white.

A lot of my work is inspired by nature: birds, bugs, trees, sunsets.

Favorite Television

Friends, House, Lost, Entertainment Tonight (guilty pleasure), Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Dragon's Den, The Tutors

Favorite Books

I have a wide range of tastes when it comes to books, from Science Fiction to Romance to Mystery to Non Fiction. Some of the authors I like include Stephen King, Ben Bova, Sue Graphton, Sophie Kinsella

Currently finishing reading both the Harry Potter and Twilight series. Yes reading both for the first time.

Comment: Dear Iva - this is an extrodinarily late rate, I am so very sorry! Today is my SB-housekeeping day, and I just realised that you hadn't been rated. I apologise profusely - I love your card of the rabbit staring at the moon. It's cute, it's mysterious, I love the textured paper and the use of biro (unusual call, but it really works), and the way the ear is flipped down. Definitely a style of collage I may have a go at! Thank you, and hope this finds you well :)
Response: No problem! I am glad you enjoyed it! What is biro? I don't recall exactly what I used for it.

Sorry :) Biro is slang for a ballpoint pen, and without checking the card, I belive you drew trees in it.
