EMILIE FANTUZ is a Vancouver palette knife painter known for her cityscapes. Originally from the United States, upon moving to Canada her first Canadian Christmas experience was going to the Robson Square Ice Rink. Emilie is pleased to have doubled the size of the painting from the original commission by Goldbeck as her contribution to ISSofBC. In addition to her career as an artist she also teaches English as a second language to newcomers and as a permanent resident working toward citizenship herself she can relate to the difficulties of moving to a new country.
“I hope that this painting of Robson Square at Christmastime will be one that recipients connect with and hopefully can relate to as well.”
