Mother Teresa said, "The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small." This image is inspired by that notion and by the concept that it takes a village to raise a child.

The people in this image are inspired by may family - a communion of people from varying walks of life. Upon completion of this image, I was reminded of Picasso's 'Guernica' and the painting seen in Good Times 'Shugar Shack' by Ernie Barnes who passed away in 2009. It's interesting how images can stay with an artist and influence their works of art.

Support can come from people we do not expect to come forward. This is what I call community; when we all band together sharing simple acts of kindness and support in an effort to simply make the world better. It creates a sense of family spans cultures. This is the colour of community.

Simone Frank was born in Toronto, 1970. When she was three years old, her mother told her to draw the drapes. Her mother meant, of course, to close them. She did. After illustrating the decorative floral drapes, she was given an easel, brushes, a palette and oil paints as a gift. She remains, at heart, a painter.

She holds a BAA in Fashion Design – Ryerson University, a Dean’s list Diploma in Graphic Design – George Brown College and a writing certificate – Humber College and has exhibited in the GTA, the Caribbean and Tokyo. She was invited to exhibit her works of art in China. Her publishing history includes but is not limited to: “Aspects of Love,” Life as Human Magazine, August 2014 and Kiss, Triumph, Messenger, Litté Realité, Volume X. No 1, 1998, Sergio Villani.

For years her work has revolved around the notions of spirituality, racism, love, joy and harmony. Simone creates works that are inspiring and thought provoking in various mediums. She uses art as a vehicle to inform and to heal.
