A. Simioni … affectionately known as Ella
Favourite Colour: Orange
Favourite Animal: Giraffes … followed very closely by cheetahs and zebras
Favourite domestic animal: Cat … I have two and I don’t trust how they’d react if I answered differently. We also have a very grumpy turtle and a few fishies.
Favourite Food: This is a tough one, but by default it’s almost always Spaghetti (maybe had something to do with why I married an Italian boy)
Did I go to school for Art? The quick answer is no. The long answer is I went to The University of Windsor and studied Drama in Education and Community. I took enough Visual Arts and Art History classes to collect a minor in the subject though. I love looking at other people’s art and I love to draw and paint.
Where am I from? Toronto, Canada … but specifically the little neighbourhood called Long Branch. Long Branch is filled with lots of city wildlife such as foxes, bunnies, raccoons, squirrels, ducks, geese and children … I have even spotted the odd unicorn!
What does the A stand for in your name? Oh that’s a secret that only my family knows. I started being called Ella 24 years ago, so more than half my life now. My mum stills calls me by my long name though.
