Opening February 17, 2012!

Toronto City Hall Art Exhibit


Art Exhibit
February 17 - 24 2012
Toronto City Hall

The ART for Cancer Foundation will be holding a special visual art exhibit from February 17 to 24, 2012 at Toronto City Hall Rotunda, with a special silent auction to take place on opening night Feb 17. The multi-media exhibit will help raise awareness of the power of the creative process as a healing force, as well as promote the ART for Cancer Foundation’s free creative programs for cancer patients.

The ART for Cancer Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization, committed to improving the quality of life of people living with cancer by providing an outlet for creative expression
through the arts, and by supporting research into the cause, control and cure of cancer.

Sometimes there just are no words to express how you are feeling when you’re living with cancer. Painting is a powerful way to let your hands do the talking for you.

This is my contribution to the exhibit. It was inspired by my daughter and her current fight against leukemia (AML). This artwork is dedicated to her and her courage. 60% of the proceeds from the sale of this work will be donated to the Art for Cancer Foundation.

2012 Year of the Dragon

Dragon Calligraphy
by Tai Oi Yee

This beautiful calligraphy was created by Tai Oi Yee. Artist Note: " this is Chinese calligraphy of the word dragon in my wild grass style. You can still vaguely see the head and claws on the left side, and the back and tail on the right side". Tai Oi Yee is a member of the North American branch of ICCPS. 


2012 is Year of the Dragon and it will arrive on February 4, 2012. (Note: Chinese New Year Day is on January 23, 2012. The first day of 2012 Chinese Astrology Year is on February 4, 2012.) The  Dragon is a legendary animal and it is the symbol of the emperor in China. Since the Dragon is coated with mysterious color, Chinese consider the dragon to be unpredictable, untouchable and people cannot see its head and tail at the same time. Therefore, we  might see something unexpected happening in 2012. Also a person with too many dragons in the Chinese astrology birth chart will become smarter, sly and unpredictable in the coming year.

Happy New Year Everyone! I wish you all the best in 2012.
May we see peace and prosperity.
