Virginia Fifield’s large-scale charcoal drawings explore how our perception of self, and sense of dominance and ownership distorts our relationship to nature. Hyper-realistic images of animal subjects are re-presented in a stark, over-scale format, deliberately devoid of color and context, aiming to spark contemplation and internal dialogue about our coexistence with the natural world. Originally from Toronto, Fifield earned her BFA from York University and studied architecture at University of Toronto. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, the Boca Raton Museum, The Hollywood Art and Culture Center and has been featured on PBS.
