This site was conceived from my short story "Me" Side of the Coin, which I wrote not only to advocate against marriage shams but to bring awareness about the issue. The paintings are my therapeutic creations. My coping mechanism and a way I of releasing everything I could not put into words. After all as one said "a picture is worth a thousands words."

I consider myself as an expressionist and a symbolist. I have chosen to use words to express the intensity and passion of each of my paintings. Some viewers will not be able to conceive or identify with my method and style of using words. It is an evolution of my own: Expressive Diction Symbolist.

Many people may not realize how difficult it is sometimes for some people to use words to express themselves. I realize that words have power to stimulate the mind when the eyes are visually overwhelmed. The combinations of vibrate graphics and powerful words are effective as well affective. One's soul travels a journey to the ocean of compassion, passion and sensuality. As a result, stimulating all the senses and bringing vitality for being a human.

The themes of my paintings are very significant to me. Each painting is done in a narrative and symbolic style. With each colour, representing a mood and each intense brush stroke filled with the overwhelming emotions that resided within me resulted in the birth of each unique piece. Each painting is very meaningful to me.

I started in 2004, after I received a letter from the Collection and Loan Management. I am advocating and
campaigning against the exploitation of marriage as a passport into Canada. I insist on justice for women
sponsors who are double victimized:first by unprincipal individuals using them solely to gain entrance into
Canada; secondly by the Canadian government which holds the victimized women responsible for debts incurred by the sponsored individuals who have used them in this way.

I'm Shajila Singh and I'm an advocate against exploitation of marriage as a passport into Canada.

I would like to encourage revolutionizing our Immigration and government structure from the corruption and negligence, which is corroding our justice system.

We, the victims of passport marriage, sponsorship default recovery project and sponsored spousal abuse are not going stand by and let fear or shame stop us from practicing our Canadian rights. We will bring about justice and change in our immigration and government.

In the words of Earl Nightingale " Be an agent of change. Help bring change about"

Revolutionizing begins inside of a person. It is an opportunity to fight for the change instead of complaining and making excuses of what you don't like. It will be difficult and challenging but the results will be rewarding.

In closing we must be leaders not observers.
