Featured Artist
Mary-Anne McTrowe was born and raised in southern Alberta, where she earned her B.F.A. at the University of Lethbridge.
She went on to pursue graduate studies at Concordia University in Montreal, where she received her M.F.A. in studio art in 2001. Her work has spanned a number of different media, and her practice is presently focused on the question of how things that are familiar to us can be made unfamiliar; how a change in context can render something temporarily strange and perhaps even unrecognizable.
Recent bodies of work include the crocheting of cozies for everyday objects and the proposing of ever-larger cozies for natural and man-made architecture, and performance and static work about the sasquatch.
McTrowe is also a member of the art-ernative folk-rock band The Cedar Tavern Singers AKA Les Phonoréalistes with Daniel Wong, and serves on the board of Trap\door Artist Run Centre in Lethbridge. She currently teaches art at the University of Lethbridge. You can see more of her work at thephonorealistes.com and on flicker.
