Azra Brkan is born in Zenica, I graduated from the University of Sarajevo.
My occupation for twenty years was teaching German as a second
language, but besides teaching I was drawing and painting all that time. Like most artists I started from early years and continued through all my life.
Painting for me is pure joy, passion and escape from everyday
pressures. I express in my own way where I see beauty experimenting with
different techniques, but drawing portraits seems to be my first true
love.
Speaking of food, Jadranka Pastries in Etobicoke, specializes in gorgeous, Viennese-style pastries and cakes at incredible prices, recently celebrated its fifth anniversary with a big, sweet pastry party and an expansion of their business. Brother-and-sister team of Vanja Ljuboje and Ljilja Jamakosmanovic -- whose grandparents were well-known pastry chefs back in their native Sarajevo -- celebrated the big event by expanding their little shop into an impressive, airy storefront operation with elegant artwork adorning one side of the store, and a sparkling dessert glass case brimming with mouth-watering treats on the other. In the five years the bakery has expanded, it's also grown to serve more than twenty specialty shops, supermarkets and restaurants throughout southwestern Ontario.
