Vieves is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in Mississauga. A deep love of art led her to enroll in the Fine Art Program at Fanshawe College, where she studied sculpture, photography, printing, and plaster work, among other mediums, with a primary focus on painting and drawing. 

Using these skills, she's experimented with many different materials over the years, such as metal, wood, and found objects to make art and jewelry. She's even made furniture after taking a woodworking course. Only within the last few years has genevieve started seriously working with clay after taking a community pottery class on a whim during a brief stint in Edmonton. She was hooked from the start and after moving back to Ontario, sought out the local clay community, eventually joining the Mississauga Potters' Guild where she now sits on the board as the Studio Coordinator.

When not covered in mud, genevieve travels as much as possible for inspiration for her work and to nurture her mental health. She's currently on the hunt for a skoolie to convert into a part time home while on the road. If you've got a lead, hit her up.
