Three women, three powerful stories. Discover how artists Nora Lebbos, Dawn Bouchard, and Tiina Alanen turned life’s turning points into art that heals, inspires, and celebrates human emotion.

In this feature, Cecilia Lopez, Forest Aliya, and Emma Francis open up about what drives them to create—not just beautiful things, but meaningful ones. Their journeys span continents and cultures, weaving childhood memories, family legacies, personal healing, and unapologetic self-expression into everything they make. These aren’t just artists—they’re storytellers, truth-seekers, and quiet revolutionaries.

Maria Rosati, a printmaker specializing in silkscreen and intaglio, opens up about how her art reflects her journey of self-acceptance, exploring the intersection of identity, fatphobia, and femininity. Raised in an Italian-Canadian family in a border city, Maria’s work uses layering and process to challenge societal perceptions and create space for conversations about body image and cultural expectations.
