About Enda Bardell Thank you for visiting my website. endabardell@telus.net

I was born in Estonia and fled to Sweden with my parents to escape the Soviet occupation.  
As refugees, we lived in isolated communities where I had very few children with whom to play.
At the age of six I discovered art to be a fulfilling preoccupation for an active mind.  
It became a lifelong passion from that time onward.  
But my love of art lay dormant for many years as I was involved in marriage, raising children, single parenting, and a variety of stimulating careers.  
I was a banker; costume designer; fabric artist; founder and former owner of Enda B. Fashion Limited; and a Realtor with Royal LePage.
Now at last I am able to pursue that lifelong dream - painting full time.
With a thankful heart I think of my parents in heaven, and rejoice that they followed their dreams and brought me to beautiful Vancouver BC.

I am an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, established in 1941, dedicated to the promotion and professional development of artists, and services for art collectors.
