Anna Jane McIntyre

Anna Jane McIntyre is a multidisciplinary artist with a practice that combines printmaking, storytelling, archiving, kinetic sculpture and microactivism. Her work explores how people perceive, create and maintain their notions-of-self and belonging through behaviour and visual cues.

Born in England to British and British-Trinidadian parents, McIntyre moved often as a child, travelling from England to New York City to several farming towns in Saskatchewan, then various suburbs in Ontario. Equally fascinated by both the arts and the sciences, McIntyre originally intended to become a marine biologist and studied at the University of British Columbia before switching into the arts. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ontario College of Art and Design and a Master of Fine Arts from Concordia University.

McIntyre’s projects range from giant emojis, feminist-foosball-tables, community workshops, parade floats, commercial signage, forest installations, urban ecology forest-school cahiers, soundscapes, films, animations,

portraiture to homages-for-the-forgotten.
