About the Talk

As an artist and person Shary Boyle is interested in human relations, and how art communicates things people are not comfortable or able to speak about. Boyle approaches her work with craft, humour, defiance and sincerity, and believes in the healing power of the artistic process.

Shary Boyle will also have a workshop at NSCAD University: Room D241; Tuesday, January 28; 10AM – 1PM.

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.
