Hi Teresa,
I have attached a headshot and here's my bio:
Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist from Québec (QC), currently based in K’jipuktuk (Halifax, NS). She graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in Print Media and Fibres & Material Practices in 2018 and recently completed an MFA in Fine and Media Arts at NSCAD University in 2020. Her object-oriented and text-based work uses humour as an entry point to make her practice more accessible, while constantly challenging the preciousness of art spaces. Her performance work reflects on the value of the artist’s work, perceptions of productivity and where life and art meets. Recipient of numerous grants and awards, her individual and collaborative work has been shown in Nova Scotia and Québec. During the last two years, she’s been developing a collaborative and curatorial practice with Louis-Charles Dionne and Jacinte Armstrong, using sculptural props, movement and performative instructions.
Let me know if there is anything else you need from me!
Best,
Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott (she/her) — Fundraiser/Grantwriter
