Ewa Anderson was born and raised in Warsaw, Poland. When she was eighteen, and with very limited English, she immigrated to Canada. She took the challenges of living on a new continent and learning a new language as an opportunity for growth. Living in Canada as an immigrant increased her awareness of the importance of belonging, acceptance and diversity in society which she tries to relate in her work.She is an alumnus of York University in Toronto and McMaster University in Hamilton where she received a Masters of Computer Science. She is also a long-standing member and volunteer at Mississauga Festival Choir, and the local arts scene.She lives with her husband in Oakville Ontario.
