What ‘hood are you in?
Technically my studio is located on Queens Quay Est which isn’t a dignified neighbourhood yet, I occupy a former office building tucked under the Gardiner Express way and steps away from Lake Ontario. Throughout the past 10 years I have had studios in Parkdale, Little Italy, Annex and King West.
