I’m trying to find the Toronto artist who crafts chairs in the likeness of actors/singers/celebtities. The chair I saw was in the likeness of Charlie Chaplin but the owner could not recall the name of the artist who crafted it. Apparently, the artist has also made chairs in the likeness of Pavarotti, for one. This woman artist also is a painter — I saw an oil of a Chinese woman she had painted. Do you know who this artist is and where she works/exhibits? Many thanks — Margaret

I am a chair artist. I have done the likeness of Billie Holiday and Michael Jackson on chairs. Check out my work on my website. Thanks, Kris
