Artist Biography:
It took me a long time to embrace the ‘Artist’ label but now I know this is who I am - I’m Aida and I’m an Artist :) I’m an Artist because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. The darker the shadow the brighter the light…..My Rheumatoid Arthritis is my shadow. My art is my light. When I was 20 years old I was diagnosed with my shadow and, subsequently, semi paralyzed for 4.5 years. I was bed bound. Life had literally dealt me a bad hand - I had irreparable damage to both of my hands - and left me down, desperate, and depressed. When I was in this place I asked myself ‘what would I do today if today was my last day’? The answer was painting, so guess what, I painted! However, I didn’t paint with paint brushes, I painted only with my hands. Why? To demonstrate to myself and to the world that I am not damaged and this dysmorphia will not define me. I have never and will never pick up a paint brush. My hands are all I need. I love my hands now. One question set me on a path to turn my darkness into light. My next question is ‘how can I spark wonder with my art and use art and coaching to help people feel seen, heard, and loved?

- Everything and Nothing - large, tranquil, calm, grey, vertical stripesBy Milly RistvedtLocated in Bloomfield, ONVertical bars of grey acrylic, dove to light charcoal, move across this square canvas by master colorist, Milly Ristvedt. The bars, that appear to breathe rhythmically against the picture plane, are made more contemplative by the profound title of the painting -- apparent nothingness is actually everything. Thoughts on this inherent and known contradiction in the nature of the universe emerge through quiet meditation of this monochrome canvas. In the recent publication, Milly Ristvedt: Colour and Meaning, critic Lola Tostevin writes: "The grey stripes in this painting could simply be the result of mixing black and white, but it is so much more. Black, the total absence of light, is experienced as nothing but its colour. White, on the other hand, absorbs every colour on the spectrum. In combining black and white in all its permutations, the painting represents nothing figurative, yet it contains everything fundamental to its creation...The textured greys of Everything and Nothing project tranquility, reflection and, ironically, silence." Milly Ristvedt, RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964 after studies with Takao...Category
