Rachael Dodgson

Rachael Dodgson is a Toronto-based artist, educator, and arts worker. As a recent graduate of York University's MFA program, Rachael's current research uses printmaking to create bold and immersive assemblages of surface and abstract imagery.  Transmuting feelings evoked digitally into material, situating them within our embodied AFK (away from keyboard) lives, Rachael contemplates the significance of digital experience and relationships in the formation of identity. Drawing connections between the analog mesh of a silkscreen and the digital screens we use daily. 

Rachael has BFA from Queen’s University and has participated in solo and group exhibitions and residences as well as received grants from the Ontario Arts Council. 

Passionate about building community and arts education, Rachael has spent the last decade teaching visual art and facilitating arts programming and events throughout the city.
