Join us online to hear what the recipient of the Griffin x Emily Carr University Studio Award, Marion Landry, has been up to during her time at Griffin.

Marion Landry creates site-adjusted installations that use light, temperature and traditional painting techniques to immerse viewers in a sensory experience. Her art practice is grounded in a phenomenological approach prioritizing the embodied experience of painting. Landry’s career as a 3D architecture visualization specialist informs how she observes, organizes and translates the pictorial plane. She obtained her BFA and MFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and has exhibited internationally since 1999. Landry is a francophone originally from Montreal and currently lives and works on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in Vancouver.
