Our guest today is Anand Jaggernauth.

Anand is a visual artist born and raised on the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad. With a successful  career in Geophysics he had little time to pursue his art yet always had a hand in it.

After his brothers passing he made the decision to leave the corporate world and become a fulltime visual artist.  Since then he has become the Resident Artist For Canada’s NEO Stock Exchange and has been commissioned to do works for some of Canada’s largest banks and corporations. He also creates his own works and is quite often privately commissioned.

His new works are created using his hands directly on the canvas in what he calls ‘ a dance of the energy of existence and expansion.’

As Bill and I’s first visual artist, and stepping outside of our comfort zone reflecting with actors, our discussion with Anand paralleled  a key message his work inspires  -  taking opportunity to pause.
