nICoLe PeÑA www.nicolepena.com Ascension 20 | beyond the rhythm Nicole Peña is an award-winning artist and over the past ten years has exhibited in several solo and group shows in Toronto, New York City, Port of Spain, and Hamilton, Bermuda. In many of her paintings, Peña depicts entranced everyday people who are seduced into spiritual and psychic reveries. “In these works,” she explains, “rhythm liberates the body and frees the spirit.” Peña, a Jamaican born Canadian who graduated from York University with an Honours Degree in Fine Arts is proud to be a part of ColourBlind —though she speaks for many when she says, “I don’t want my art to be defi ned solely by my race.”
