The RenaissanceLadies are Torie Sifton and Laura Stewart, both are in their fourth year at Queen's University, studying Art History. In the summer of 2008, Torie and Laura were part of a summer art history course ARTH245B Art & Architecture in Venice where they studied abroad in Venice for the month of May. Not only did this experience inspire both ladies to continue their studies of art in the Renaissance, but made both of them fall in love with the art of Titian!
