Madalina Bejgu was born in Bucharest, Romania, arriving in Canada with her family at the tender age of six.  For a young woman, independence and determination came early, as she headed back for Romania alone at the age of twelve.  Living with her grandmother in Romania during her teenage years, she was granted the freedom and choice to express herself, which kindled her creative energy. 

Educated at the international College of Bucharest, she achieved an International Baccalaureate Diploma. During her time at college she excelled in many sports, including volleyball, track and field, figure skating and swimming. Upon her graduation, she returned to Canada at the age of 19.

Madalina enjoys spending time in the cafes and shops around Toronto.  In the winter she loves to go skating at the local rink, or skiing at Blue Mountain.  In the summer, she enjoys hiking, outdoor fitness, beach volleyball and boating.  She also studies the many Canadian masters and contemporary artists featured at Gallery 260 in Toronto, where she is curator.
