Description

Photo coutesy of Sheresha Mcintyre

Working predominantly with Analog Collage, artist, photographer, poet and curator Sheresha Mcintyre has been able to express her take on many themes in each of her art disciplines. Themes such as fantasy presented in colourful conceptual abstract forms. Mcintyre takes influences from plants, nature, culture and her own imagination to show how they mimic our “reality”.

In 2020, Mcintyre was Awarded the #RisingYouth Community Service Grant presented to her by TakingITGlobal in Toronto. She was able to curate her own art exhibit called Loose Ends which was held at The Art Gallery of Ontario (The AGO) located in Toronto. Her exhibit featured both her artwork and the artwork of other local Toronto visual artists.

Mcintyre aims to create an experience of oneness between her art and those that observe her work. This is in the hope that her art will inspire her observers to tap into the brightest, most exciting parts of themselves.
