Andrea Williamson was born on Treaty 7 territory (Calgary) and studied in Halifax (NSCAD) and London, UK (Goldsmiths University) where she earned her Masters of Fine Art. Her work uses a variety of media from 3d animation to poetry, to give form to or interact within relationships between living beings in specific local ecologies. The mainstay of her practice is watercolour painting, which conveys a lightness and fluidity that she admires. Recent collaborations include Our House of Common Weeds, a platform and exhibition about overlooked forms of knowledge, Butterfly Chair/Chaise Papillon at the Montreal Botanical Gardens, and ongoing work with Les Amis du Champ des Possibles, the Herbier Marie-Victorin and On Sème.
