Teenybotanist is a painter and illustrator originally form Treaty 13 Territory, Toronto, ON. She attended OCAD University for Printmaking, with minors in Art History and Indigenous Studies, and was awarded as a medalist for her works in lithography, silkscreen, and lightboxes. She attended Humber College for Arts Administration and Cultural Management, and following her studies, she was selected as the International Artist in Residence for Megalo Print Studio + Gallery in Canberra, Australia.

​

Though her creative practice has shifted in medium over the years, her works have always focused on the connections between people, places, and nature; and the lasting impacts we have on one another. Teenybotanist has expanded her practice into mural painting and graphic design, as well as collaborating with other local artists and photographers by drawing life into their stunning landscapes. Teenybotanist now lives in the Rocky Mountains of Canmore, Alberta on Treaty 7 Territory, where she works at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity connecting artist and leaders to creative residency programs. In her downtime, she can be found outdoors appreciating the mountains, and too often day-dreaming oversized figures into their rolling slopes.
