about

A practicing interdisciplinary artist, independent curator and fundraising professional working in Toronto, Canada. Skyvington attended the Ontario College of Art and Design University where she majored in Drawing and Painting. Her work discusses the complicated relationship between fashion, the body, public stigma and private feelings. Dealing with the female body as site through personal narrative Skyvington's work both engages with the historical relationship between women and art while also questioning the role of subject and artist. She has shown her work across Toronto individually and with Woman King Collective.
