Janae Gartly is an emerging artist currently based in Langley, British Columbia, having grown up primarily in Abbotsford. She is working on a BA in Art and Design with Honours from Trinity Western University with the goal of pursuing an MFA in Art and Design at Emily Carr University.

In her creative practice, Gartly is interested in identification of self, memory formation and loss, found objects as a source of viewer self-recognition, and modes of storytelling through mark-making. Gartly uses the mark-making of drawing to trace shadows as a way to track moments, record events, and calm the self.

In her most recent body of work, displayed here, Gartly invites us to enter this space, learn about self and other, process wounds together, and remember what has been, what is, and what can be. Through embodiment, representation, tracking, tracing, and illustration, she tells a story that extends an invitation to be still, to hear, and to be heard.
