Rana Silakhori, Snowy Serenity | Westmount Collegiate Institute

Vaughan is much less dominated by tall buildings than other cities and is a mix of small clusters of buildings surrounded by bustling suburbia. Using Procreate, I combined my style with the Group of Seven, especially Lawren Harris’ series of snow-covered houses, mimicking his wintertime drawing style and re-interpreting how Vaughan's architecture would look in that setting. The city area includes structures that resemble those at the Vaughan Metropolitan Center, and an airplane demonstrates the city's growing immigrant community; and how many people, including myself, come to this city to find a home. Using distinctive textured brushes and a canvas overlay, in the spirit of the Group, I tried to convey the effect of painting on canvas rather than digital media.
