Renée Brazeau
Renée Brazeau (she/they) is an artist and educator living and working in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Their art practice currently focuses on embroidery, acrylic painting and illustration. They have facilitated arts-based workshops through Wonder'neath Art Society, NSCAD Extended Studies, and the Centre for Craft Nova Scotia. Renée considers her practice to be place-based, since she use experiences of place to inform what she creates. As a queer white settler, she recognizes that her experience of place is rooted in privilege and often limited in its scope of understanding. Community conversation and relationship building is imperative in their practice in order to consider, acknowledge and honour the diverse and intersectional experiences of place. Renée holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) and a Bachelor of Education from Queen’s University and will be receiving her Master’s of Arts in Art Educations in the fall of 2022.
