Kevin V. Sanichar: I cannot image not living in Brampton near Heart Lake as this city has been an integral part of my healing, self love and development as an artist. It has allowed me to thrive and be part of the photographer I am today.

Annmarie Claudette: I'm a self-taught visual artist who enjoys creating abstract , landscape, and portrait paintings. As I continue to explore and learn more about Brampton through an artist lens I discover endless adventure and charm. This inspires me to reflect Brampton's spirit of awe and adventure with each painting that I create.

Kimberley Popoff: Since 2020 and the arrival of COVID-19, our residences have become central for us, and my watercolour portraits honour our relationship with our homes. My house portrait series illustrates images of home in Brampton, and in particular, home thatmay be slated for descruction. My work expresses how a home was once a vital part of its neighbourhood and suggests the idea that progress surpasses the relevance of the original home construction.

Amye St John: I always tell a story, whether it is a sigular narrative in one piece or many interwinding over a body of work. A big part of my personal story is my home and the land, people, and places that occupy it. I was born and currently live in Brampton and Brampton is integral to my story and practice.

Gaurav Saini: Gaurav Saini is an Indian artist who works in the current current climate where many believe history has no relevance, he find himself continually returning to those aspects that are often hidden or misrepresented in the "official" recordings for posterity. In his varied and diverse approaches to making artwork, the context of the work has an impact on the works relationship to the viewer. Gaurav's work ranges from the context of the street to museums, from within to cosmos.

Prashanth Raj: Growing up in Canada I struggled to identify with my Tamil heritage, but living in Brampton gave me ample opportunities to explore and engage with art forms that were native to South India. These opportunities allowed me to embrace my culture and proudly identify as a Tamil Indo-Canadian. The single continuous and uninterrupted line used to create this piece represents my chatoic search for identity, with my emerging South Indian identity being represented by the Bharatanatyam dancer.

@prashanthopedia
Michel Nwoye-Vincent: My doodle style incorporates various inspirations from my personal experience in the city of Brampton as well as my interests. Everyday brings a new opporutnity to explore new concepts and espress creativity within my doodles.

@mightymicharts
Mathias Chau: To Find Home' (2015-?) was meant to be a piece that personally expressed ideas of home through Garden-like imagery found in Brampton. Through 6 years of undirected progress, it was subject to and evolved alongside my understanding of artistic styles & the idea of home. Eventually, an agreable stylistic approach was found and a new perspective of acceptance in the development of change was adopted to "To Find Home" and the ideas of home were then understood as entities of change, growth, and reinvention.

@mathiaschau_art
Sydney Hussett: Hello! My name is Sydney Hussett and I'm a 22 year old emerging artist from Brampton, ON. I aim empower + inspire Black and other women of colour through my art: This piece displays the interconnectedness, diversity, and vibrancy of the art and creative scene in Brampton. I incorporated the words "inspire, create, and dream" into the piece as these values represent both the City of Brampton and myself as an artist.

@shussett.co
Edwin Amoah: I came from the city where the flowers bloom A place where, just like stars, many can shine if you give them room I'm patiently waiting for my turn to bloom Just like the flowers do

@steadyreadyeddy
Janice Reid: As the sisterhood shared between Reid and her muse Janice develops over three sets of images, our assuptions of black women and urban landscapes shift from harsh to intimate and inviting.

@janice.reid
Manda Novokmet: As an artist, I am to influence and be influenced by the communities that hold me. This depiction of Brampton's bustling downtown core has many moving parts, all of which give rise to countless possible interactions.
