Arya Landers is honoured to announce her artistic nominations, “I am so very humbled and honoured to have the opportunity to represent the artistic community within this beautiful city of Ottawa. I had discovered long ago that the purpose of my life is to tell stories, whether through the medium of live performance, of film, or of the fine arts. Stories help us to understand and to heal ourselves, our fellow neighbours, and fellow humans across the globe. Project by project, I come closer and closer to better comprehending the human condition. I am without adequate words to express my gratitude to my mentors for all their dedication and hard work over the years. To my acting mentors, Shannon Lawson and Kostas Gakis, and to my painting mentors, Yulia Lisitsyna and Mahmoud Fahmi, wholeheartedly, I say thank you. My craft is always for you, my community; may we unceasingly find ways to tell each other’s moving stories. Through storytelling, empathy, compassion, and connection, I believe we will overcome and strive through this pandemic - together.”

Landers’ passion for the stage was instilled in her, at an early age, with the performances of Sir Peter Ustinov. She first became interested in seriously pursuing the vocation of acting, upon seeing a performance of Tennessee Williams play, “The Glass Menagerie,” at the Gladstone Theatre in High School. Landers then competed in the 2014 Ottawa University’s Shakespeare Competition, where she performed a monologue of Viola’s from Shakepeare’s Twelth Night.

Some of Arya Landers’ lead stage roles have been: Jocasta in “From Antigone to Medea,” directed by Kostas Gakis at Hydrama in Hydra, Greece; Sabah, in “Follow Your Heart,” directed by Armineh Keshishian and Jabbar Al Jabani at the Richmond Hill Centre of Performing Arts in Toronto; and Juror 4 in Rural Root Theatre’s production of “12 Angry Jurors” at the Jack Purcell Centre in Ottawa.

As owner of the art studio, House of Landers, Ms. Landers has been painting artistic works for the last decade focusing the majority of her efforts on commissioned pieces. Her preferred mediums are egg tempra, oil, watercolors, and acrylic paints. Ms. Landers' adoration of pigments and the natural elements define the essence of her works, “Every brush stroke I make unequivocally expresses my passion for life. I am pleased to be able to share with you the breadth of my experiences and my colourful perspective on the world.” Her signature style is storybook realism with whimsical colours and elements. Her latest, original collection will be available for sale in the month of June, where Mrs. Landers plans on hosting a virtual gallery for the works.
