Our Adjudicator this year is Genevieve Robertson
Genevieve Robertson works at the intersection of visual art and environmental studies. Her practice is grounded in drawing/painting, and extends to video, installation, and various forms of collective work and collaboration. Studio and fieldwork are of equal importance: she often focusses on ecosystems such as watersheds, old growth forests, wildfire sites and marine shorelines as a means of engaging in intuitive, materially driven and place-informed practice. Through this work she explores the origins of primordial matter across geologic time, industrial and settler-colonial impacts on more-than-human beings, and the intelligence and interconnection of the life systems of which we are part.
Genevieve is informed by a personal and intergenerational history of forestry labour in remote forestry camps all over British Columbia. She is of mixed European settler ancestry and currently lives and works on the unceded territory of the sn̓ʕay̓ckstx Sinixt Confederacy Arrow Lakes and Yaqan Nukiy Lower Kootenay Band peoples with her artist partner and twin toddlers.
Robertson holds a BFA from NSCAD University (Halifax) and an MFA from Emily Carr University (Vancouver).
She is grateful to the Canada Council for the Arts, the British Columbia Arts Council, and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance for their generous support, and to all the individuals, organizations and institutions that have made her work possible.

Basic Monotype Printmaking Workshop:Working with Natural Objects
All levels welcome!
Join Genevieve Robertson for this great workshop.
In this 1-day workshop we will explore monotype printmaking using water-based ink. We will use observational drawing/painting to work directly with the ink, to explore three types of monotype printmaking: dark field (subtractive), additive, and trace. This can be a very satisfying process, with painterly and gestural results. Please come to the workshop with several (5 or so) interesting, natural objects to work with. These should be objects that you would enjoy drawing and painting.
Workshop date: Saturday, June 7, 2025 from 10 am to 4:30 pm
