Artist Statement
Highly influenced by the personalities, the sounds, the sites, and even the weather, the artwork invites the viewer to create stories around the people whose work knowingly or unknowingly impact our lives. It is about celebrating the women and men who build, transform and maintain the unseen or unnoticeable.

About
Dragica first studied Illustration at Sheridan College. She then pursued her arts studies at OCAD, in print making, silk screening and fabric design. Combining her love for design and sculpture, her work has evolved and taken on a style that is incredibly strong, both emotionally and physically. As an artist, Dragica approaches her work as an athlete would prepare for competition, with discipline and practice. Since returning to painting in 2013, Dragica has been juried into group shows in Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington and Collingwood, invited to participate in three plein air excursions, and exhibited in solo shows. In addition, she has been profiled in magazines, newspaper and television.
