Bio

Lisa Smolkin is an artist living in Toronto.  Some of her creative stand-out moments include hosting a connectedness workshop in her 20′s, having a home-museum tailored to its visitors, co-presenting an unauthorized performative installation for Nuit Blanche about the idea of emotional reception/industrial receiving areas.  She used to volunteer for the Toronto Children’s Museum but stopped because she felt too shy. www.lisasmolkin.com
