About The Artist(s)

Shary Boyle’s work considers the social history of ceramic figures, animist mythologies and folk-art forms to create a symbolic, feminist and politically charged language uniquely her own. Boyle is the recipient of a 2021 Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the Ontario College of Art and Design University, where she graduated from in 1994, before developing a multidisciplinary practice centered on drawing, sculpture and performance. Boyle activates her practice through collaboration and mentorship, engaging other creative communities and disciplines with a characteristically inclusive spirit.
