Tricia Firmaniuk
Born and raised in Edmonton, Firmaniuk earned from the University of Alberta a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing with Distinction (2005). It was there that her interest in formalism was nurtured by modernist teachers and colleagues. She has ten years of experience working at Peter Robertson Gallery (Edmonton, AB) and currently works in virtual design. As an emerging artist, Firmaniuk organized and participated in life drawing courses in Jasper, AB (1999 – 2000) and was a founding member of J.A.G. (Jasper Artist’s Guild).
