Interview with Canadian artist Aggie Armstrong

Follow your dreams and live your life! Tune in to this week’s episode as we chat with Canadian artist Aggie Armstrong as she talks about her journey of leaving the corporate world and following her passion for art. Aggie talks about her work and her latest venture “Perennial Palettes”- where she creates an artistic experience for all by offering visits to her rural farm/gardens and teaches watercolor painting and showcases the benefits of creating.

Aggie Armstrong is known for her multimedia work that explores various states of female consciousness. Through every piece, Aggie’s work serves as a record of her feelings and memories of the intersectional female experience. By combining clever compositions, hand-stitched embroidery, and vivid colours, her audience is attracted to the punchy canvases immediately, and encouraged to think beyond their initial impressions to a deeper meaning of the work. Aggie’s collaged references to various states of the human (female) psyche allow her viewers to share or relate to the familiarity of the narrative provided, and feel seen.
