About Me

Stephanie Avery is a Toronto-based multi-disciplinary artist with a degree in visual art from York University. With an emphasis on interactivity and empowerment, Stephanie's practice intervenes with familiar spaces, objects and imagery to imbue her subjects with new meanings and narratives. Being especially interested in our collective relationships to the spaces we inhabit, Stephanie explores the world with an equal balance of joy, curiosity and skepticism: a balance she strives to represent in her practice. Her work is both playful and critical, and nothing she does is without a hint of mischief. Stephanie’s goal is to inspire new perspectives and initiate dialogue about elements of contemporary culture that are often taken for granted. She has exhibited widely within Toronto, notably at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Nuit Blanche and the Toronto Media Arts Centre; and internationally, at Atrium (Forli, Italy), Flux Factory (New York, USA), Shadow Traffic (New York, USA) and Playa del Fuego (online/Tamaqua, USA).
