DaNisha Dan Ferguson, born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1965, knew that he wanted to be an artist when at age three he watched, with great envy, an older child of twelve years render a near perfect Dr. Suess elephant in pencil. Throughout his childhood Dan always drew, and always in pencil. Not until age twenty-one, when he entered the Art Centre at Central Technical Centre in Toronto, did he try his hand at other mediums. It was during second year of the program that he and his classmates were introduced to figurative sculpture. Dan found the simple exercises of rendering the human torso in clay so exciting that everything changed, and sculpture became his main focus. |

Dan and Nisha were classmates throughout art school and married after graduation. Their artistic collaboration began in 1991 and has become a celebration of art. In every way they integrate their talents and ideas in order to bring beautiful objects into the world. Their pieces are an expression of joy and wonder to be shared by all. Nisha, born in Ottawa in 1966, has always been an artist in training. Since her young childhood she has practiced dance, gymnastics and visual art in every moment and every way. Invariably, her love for the art of movement provided inspiration in her visual art and she drew dancing figures over and over. |
