Atleigh Homma

Atleigh Homma received her BFA in 2016 from OCAD University's Drawing and Painting department. She went on to garner Canada’s portraiture competition, the Kingston Prize, for a painted self-portrait in 2019. In her art practice she currently utilizes painting and textiles, focusing on cultural identity, care and wellbeing, she looks to find connection to her ancestors using inherited heirlooms, knick-knacks and domestic objects as subjects for her works, thus creating scenes that call upon memory and familial history. As an instructor at the AGO Atleigh loves planning projects and helping students both learn new techniques and implement them.
