Natia Lemay
Natia Lemay (b. 1985) was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and is based in Toronto, Ontario. Her interdisciplinary autoethnographic practice reflects her experience as an IBPOC woman and mother living with inherited, transgenerational, and collective trauma. Through personal stories, she interrogates the intersections between the mind, the body, and space to understand how these experiences relate to a broader cultural context.
Natia Lemay has exhibited widely throughout North America. The artist was selected for the 2024 Fountainhead Residency in Miami, and the 2022 Royal Drawing School Residency in Dumfries, Scotland. She was awarded the National Trust Prize at Expo Chicago 2024, with her work acquired by the High Museum in Atlanta. She holds an MFA from the Yale School of Art (2023) and a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design (2021) with a Minor in Social Sciences.
