Fave Five: Young Local Artists

Here on the fourth floor, we appreciate the finer things in life and as such, are taking a moment to honour our Fave Five young Torontonians who contribute to the arts and entertainment scene in Toronto.
Born and raised in Toronto and a graduate of OCAD?s fine art program, Aaron Li-Hill is one of our favourite visual artists. His dreamy, industrial inspired pieces employ a variety of mediums; from traditional paints and sketches to a contemporary use of graphic design and graffiti. His art has been shown in galleries throughout Canada and was recently included in SPiN Toronto's?first Plywood graffiti art exhibit.?http://li-hill.carbonmade.com/ Not only do we love fashion, we also love Mother Earth! This is why Little.White.Dress?is a local designer that we're keeping our eye on. Made up of Ryerson grads Jessica van Enckevort and Alexandra Wilson, Little.White.Dress focuses on making unique, eco-friendly bridal wear, cocktail dresses and accessories. We love their use of vintage and repurposed fabrics, and that each of their dresses is one of a kind.?@LWDressTorontoNo stranger to the Canadian music scene, Devin was literally born into it. Son of Blue Rodeo?s Jim Cuddy, Devin inherited more than just the famous Can-Rock name and has been carving out a place for himself with the Devin Cuddy Band. Their country and New Orleans blues inspired debut album Volume One?was released on the Cameron House?s label, where Devin and his band can be spotted playing every Wednesday.?@DevinCuddyPhotog phenom Petra Collins ?has made her indelible mark on the art world with her nostalgic, sometimes controversial, but always honest portrayal of young women. At just 19 years old, Petra?s commercial clients include Urban Outfitters, Vogue Italia, Chloe Comme Parris and Refinery 29.? In addition to that, she curates the female art collective The Ardorous.? We love her unapologetic embrace of all things feminine.?@petracollins



Since she moved to Toronto from Nigeria as an international student in Ryerson?s Broadcast Journalism program, Shasha has been an up-and-comer in the documentary film world.? She works full-time at award-winning documentary production company Storyline Entertainment, and as a producer/director for Squire Entertainment with Rich Williamson. Her very first documentary Baby Not Mine went on to win awards at the Human Rights Docfest and the Montreal World Film Festival in 2009. Recently, her documentary about the sugarcane industry in the Philippines,?The Sugar Bowl ?took Best Documentary and Best Film at the 2012 Aesthetica Short Film Festival in York, UK.?@ShashaNakhai
