About Elissa Barber

Formally trained as an illustrator through Sheridan’s BAA(hons) program, Elissa has used image-making as a foundation in her dedicated studio practice exploring a variety of mediums with a focus on works on paper and textile as well as ceramics. Employing the female form as the foundation of her work, Elissa explores themes of connection, nostalgia, growing older and the personal and broader impact of a changing world. Consumed by creating art in a way that builds organically, Elissa works intuitively and draws upon an expressive use of materials that feels loose and emotive yet consistent and recognizable. She lives and works in Hamilton, Ontario.
