Description |
White's work explores - often through sources in literature - manifestations of the unconscious or the invisible in the visible world. Deeply attached to physical practices in art and hand production, the history and meaning of materials and processes are central to the artist's visual practice, research, and teaching. Biographical Information: Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1953, Michèle White holds the BA from the University of Toronto and a AOCA from the Ontario College of Art. She has been a professor of drawing and painting in the faculty of art at OCAD for over 25 years. White has participated in solo, group and collective exhibitions since 1975 in public and private galleries throughout the province. She has received Toronto, Ontario and Canada Council Grants; Materials Assistance, Explorations, Artists and the Workplace, Travel and Professional Development Grants; the RBC Painting Prize and two Elizabeth T. Greenshields Scholarships to study in Europe. While based in Toronto with two children, Michèle's studio and teaching practices include periods in Italy, England and Ireland. |
