Ahmri Vandeborne (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist relying on the process of a meditative state and responding to happenstance to explore the conflict between what exists, what was destroyed, and the remnants of what is left behind both in her encounters with the natural world and within her work. Using shadow imagery and various methods of light manipulation as a vehicle between natural and artificial elements, her work focuses on fleeting interactions to understand concepts of ephemerality. She collaborates with light, the viewer, other artists, nature, and found objects, as a way to shift her methods of abstraction and to create immersive environments.

Ahmri holds a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Studio Art from the University of Guelph, where she also completed minors in French and Art History. With artist Abby Nowakowski, she co-founded Otherwise Studios, an inclusive studio space for art-making and community building. With a focus on fostering an accessible arts community, Otherwise offers diverse opportunities for collaborating, teaching, innovating, and mess-making.
