Our Mission

Here at AWA, we're a group of digital artists working towards reminding people that, despite these tough times, there's still some sunshine. We hope to spread some joy globally and offer an outlet for artists to draw at their own pace, while also providing them a place to publicize, share, and improve upon their art. In doing this, we also aim to spark a smile in this small act of kindness.

AWA has also now expanded to include rescue pet portraits. By partnering with rescues such as the Best Friends Animal Society, Toronto Humane Society, Horse Plus Humane Society, Niagara Dog Rescue, and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, we aim to increase pet exposure in order to help connect them to their forever homes.
