Meet and Greet with Artist Coda Girvan

Join local artist Coda Girvan and the Edmonton Arts Council at the Castle Downs Farmers Market for a meet and greet on July 23 from 3 — 7 pm.

There will be another opportunity to meet with Coda at Youth Day on August 9! 

About the artist:

My name is Coda, I am a 27 year old self-taught Queer Métis artist currently living in Edmonton, Alberta (Amiskwacîwâskahikan). My work, across all mediums, tends to focus on organic matter— mostly figurative shapes. I have been creating art my whole life but began painting with acrylics on canvas at the age of twelve. Within the past five years, my artistic style has evolved to stripping down natural elements into their most minimalistic form. The majority of my work is inspired by typeface design, and more recently much of the shapes and colours used in my work have been influenced by my family history as a Métis person. I use my art as a tool to process and as a form of healing.
