Hi, I’m Cait (She/Her). 

I am a multi-disciplinary artist who moonlights as a software delivery consultant to pay the bills. My art work focuses on the medium of dried flowers; to me they are symbolic of the cyclical nature of life and death. Part of my intention with this medium is to combat the stigma and fear around death.

Currently I am focused on creating work based on my studies of the art style Mannerism, my experience with inflammatory skin conditions and intrigue with mythology and symbolism.

I live near a ravine and find myself in it almost every day, regardless if its Summer or Winter. I am building a Herbarium (pressed flora catalog) of the many species I find in the ravine through the seasons. My favourite part of the ravine this year was the addition of a pair of Ravens who I like to think speak to me when I enter (yes, I am an animist).

I am curious about forests and trees; the way trees communicate through fungal networks and the importance of old growth forests in the conversation around environmental sustainability. 

I am a volunteer with Community Fridges Toronto and focus on acquiring menstrual products by way of building partnerships with organizations like The Period Purse. Hoping to battle period poverty and ensure our community members have access to these kinds of personal care items.

Lately I enjoy reading Plays and memorizing soliloquies to recite to myself in the mirror. I live for captivating performance and story telling.

I love to sing, cook and create through nourishment, stretch out my body, laugh, journal, play chess and pursue a spiritual practice through ritual among many other things. 

Thank you for being here.
