Tom Thomas Native Art
Museum (905) 342 -3555 |
Her style is identifiable; a blend of European and Canadian elements, a vigorous brush stroke, the use of palette knife, and the bright and vibrant colours. Professor Christo Stefanoff, a master of the palette knife, was for four years her most valued teacher in Canada. She has exhibited her work in Europe, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and many other cities in Canada and the United States. Her paintings and reproductions have been purchased by various galleries across Europe, Canada, and the United States. Her name is found in a Dictionary of Canadian Artists in galleries and museums. She has been commissioned to exercise her skills by many Catholic dioceses for a number of churches in Canada. One of the deepest impressions left upon her as an artist was made by Cardinal P.E Leger, who appointed her personally to do his self-portrait. More recently she did a life size portrait of St. Patrick, that hangs next to the altar in St. Patrick's church in Toronto. Over many years, she has built up a Canadian heritage collection for Native Art. In 1990 she proudly opened the Native Art Museum in Toronto, Ontario. The event was a wonderful success with patronage of the Premier of Ontario, Honourable Bob Rae, officiated by his wife Pearl Rae, along with the support of many Provincial members. Furthermore, The International WHO'S WHO of Entrepreneurs is proud to announce that Ilona E. Nagy has been selected as an honoured member. |
