Aurafidélité Arindam is a registered member of the Botanical Artists of Canada and the American Society of Botanical Artists. Her orchid drawings received 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize ribbons at the Victoria Orchid Society’s Annual Show & Sale.
Originally from the province of Ontario in Canada, Aurafidélité Arindam studied for her Master’s degree at McGill University in Montreal. In 1991 she moved to James Bay in Victoria, British Columbia.
She apprenticed with her late husband, an accomplished professional artist who studied under Salvador Dali and at prestigious international art schools around the world. His artwork was exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. For several years, they also worked for a UNESCO-sponsored project whose aim was to bring human unity and peace between various nations of the world. She is now an accomplished artist in her sown right.
"With our often hectic, fast-paced lives, I feel it is important to stop and admire the beauty in our lives in order to provide some peace within and enrich our soul. It is my hope to communicate that beauty and peace through my artwork."
