Liv Sydney

LIV SYDNEY, born in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, grew up in a supportive Inuvialuit household, with her Nanuk playing a key role in shaping her values. As a teen, she discovered a passion for creating, especially beading and painting. Encouraged by her community, Liv pursued an education at OCAD University in Toronto, supported by several bursaries. Now in her third year of the Indigenous Visual Culture program, Liv's current creative practice focuses on hand sewing, printmaking, and painting as a way to reconnect with her culture and traditions.
