Hi, I’m Caitlin Jeffery.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada. My 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 a body of work based on my studies of the art style Mannerism. I am researching old-growth forests and their role in environmental sustainability. Lastly I am offering workshops for families experiencing the loss of a loved one.

For the last 10 years, while developing my artistic practice, I worked as a Business Consultant and Project Manager supporting software development teams in the private and public sector after receiving my Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree focused in Economics.

I love laughing with my loved ones, walking in nature, listening to music, learning,  practicing Surya Namaskar, cooking, pulling cards, playing chess and the art of storytelling.  

"Cait is a deep listener, secret keeper and flower poet. Her willingness to dig into the darker parts of the creative practice and celebrate the beauty there is what drew me to her like a magnet when I met her at a workshop years ago. I was like: ohhhh, this woman KNOWS."
- Sonja Seiler of Nurture Retreats
