"My name is Desirae, I am a Latina-Canadian illustrator and painter located in Toronto. Through my artwork, I work with themes of connection and family using images of plants to reflect how close humans and nature really are.

Words from desirae
During the Creative Contrasts workshop I was mesmerized by how much life the city contained, through street vendors, unique architecture and parks where communities were always gathered. The workshop we did with Culturans was such an exciting and transformative experience. I enjoyed meeting the artists we toured with and seeing parts of the city I would have overlooked without their insight. My notebook is reflection of my memories from the workshop, digesting my thoughts and documenting moments I didn’t want to forget.
