Reva and I volunteered together for the art program at The Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre

Here is an excerpt from Reva's website, revadiana.com

I’m fascinated with human anatomy and drawing the figure from life. I seek to ground my figure drawings with a solid foundation of anatomical knowledge. Constant experimentation is both part of the creative process but also a way to avoid attachment. The more I explore, the more I draw on the dynamic play between chaos and order, between abstract and realism. Textured grounds provide the initial inspiration as more realistic forms emerge in the foreground. I like to play with all kinds of media: oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, ink, pastel.

I have over 17 years industry expertise in graphic design. I have worked in a design firm setting, as part of the design team within a company, as well as a freelance. I have created a wide array of material some of which include: corporate identity, marketing collateral, billboards, wall murals, wearables, displays, merchandise, custom illustrations, and websites. Currently, I am Molson Coors’s graphic designer for western Canada where I work with iconic brands such as Molson Canadian, Coors, Miller, Heineken, Dos Equis, and Strongbow.

I live in and work in Calgary, Alberta.
