Kaitlyn Konkin (b. 2001) is driven by her fascination with the ways we depict, scrutinize, and understand bodies. She was born in Edmonton, Alberta, on Treaty 6 lands and holds a BFA from the University of Alberta. 

Working between printmaking, drawing and painting, her practice often engages with the abstraction and misrepresentation of familiar scenes and distorted memories. Much of her inspiration is drawn from the natural world, where ecosystems operate as intricate collections in their own right. She often looks to the structures, rhythms, and textures found in nature as guiding elements in her work. This attentiveness to organic forms informs her visual language, grounding it in both observation and transformation.
