"Glenna Simcoe" by Jennifer Faria
Jennifer Faria is a Canadian painter and illustrator. She began drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil and loved it, drawing her cat, her Barbies, and anything and everything in between. Her mother was highly skilled in calligraphy and trained her to print with excellence which helped inspire her to pursue all areas of traditional artwork. Her hero she chose feature on her $20 is her great aunt, Glenna Simcoe, Chippewas of Rama First Nation. This upbeat, no-nonsense woman exposed me to innumerable galleries, plays, museums, ballets, etc., passing on her love of art and culture, and inspiring me to become an artist. After my mother passed away when I was 15, Aunt Glenna was the next best thing.
