Artist Bios:
Amber-Lynn Thorne
Amber-Lynn describes herself as "an artist who owes everything to the ocean." She is from Thornlea, NL, on the isthmus of the Avalon Peninsula, where generations of her family have fished. She is an interdisciplinary visual artist and graduate of the Visual Arts Program at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland. Her practice incorporates imagery symbolic of the fishery and the ocean, serving as both a reflection on and continuation of her family’s fishing legacy.
Daniel Rumbolt
Daniel is an artist from the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador. His multidisciplinary art practice is informed by experiences being raised in rural Newfoundland, using material manipulation to transform rural narrative and queer tensions into visual form.
Kayla Walsh
Kayla Walsh is a textile artist living in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland. She holds a BFA in textiles/fashion from NSCAD University and a diploma of textiles from the College of the North Atlantic.
Kayla is inspired by her coastal home of Newfoundland. She explores themes of mental wellbeing in relation to our natural surroundings, the present moment, and our attachment to place. Kayla explores these themes through weaving, embroidery and natural dyeing.
