Dana Harrison is a multidisciplinary artist based in Warkworth, Ontario. Through scanography, printmaking, and mark-making, she explores the textures, patterns, and fleeting moments found in the natural world.

Drawn to wild plants, shifting light, and structures beyond human design, Harrison invites a slower gaze—a way to reconnect with the quiet rhythms around us. Her work is an act of stepping out of the noise, a reminder that we are not separate from nature but deeply part of it.

Her recent series, Biophilia and Kaleidoscope, uses a flatbed scanner to capture and magnify the delicate complexity of plant life, celebrating impermanence and resilience.

Through her practice, Harrison offers a moment of stillness: a chance to notice the overlooked, to feel a little smaller, and to reconnect with the quiet wildness that holds us all.

She regularly participates in local markets, and strives to create products that generate financial support for local organizations like OK2BME, the KW Community Fridge, and Toronto’s Red Door Shelter.

Nicole Beno is a visual artist and designer based in Kitchener-Waterloo on the traditional territories of the Haldimand Tract, land promised to the Six Nations. Her work investigates themes of excess, over-consumption, and desire. Layering photographs and scanned materials that are otherwise seen as everyday objects, or taken from old magazines, she manipulates them digitally through a process of remixing, cutting, distorting and merging. Her work is a reflection of the anxiety around consumption and is often overloaded with saturated colours and artificial hues, in contrast to natural textures and materials. Beno’s work is driven by her own personal contradictions around the pressure to produce, perform, and purchase. She has exhibited at the Capture Photography Festival in 2024, CAFKA Biennale in 2023, Design Toronto in 2021, along with numerous public art installations such as A Streetcar Named Toronto and WayHome Festival. She has done work for clients such as The Drake Hotel, TD Bank, and MASSIVART.

I am a Jamaican-born, Kitchener/Waterloo-based Canadian sculptor. I earned my Bachelor of Architecture in 2003 and spent over a decade working as a designer and architectural professional in the United States. This experience included time at a Zen Buddhist Japanese firm in California, where I was introduced to principles of mastery and care that continue to underpin my work today. In 2015, I moved to Canada and became a full-time artist and proprietor of Sun Drops Studio.

My artistic journey revolves around reimagining the ancient craft of bead-stitching, transforming it into an innovative and engaging form of public art and architecture. My practice explores the invisible networks and social infrastructure that form the foundation for building communities rooted in care and well-being. My technical process involves constructing forms that rely solely on the tension within thread networks, creating a distinctive visual language. Beadwork, a multicultural craft rooted in both Canadian and global heritage, reflects the complexities of community bonds and natural systems of growth. As a type of weaving, bead-stitching merges individual elements into a new cohesive whole. My approach, therefore, builds on historical traditions to create an experience that balances the familiar and the futuristic.
