Kaitlyn Beugh – 2027

I am an interdisciplinary artist and herbalist. My art practice is interwoven between these modalities and is based in mindfulness that fosters a deeply rooted connection to nature. 

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts with a minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and have a background in social services. Community-building is at the heart of what I do. I’ve always been drawn to cultivating strong community connections and strive to do so creatively using the skills I developed while working in social services.

For herbal medicine, I have learned from many teachers. I consider myself a lifelong student to this practice, and am always learning and refining. I have found that my studies in herbal medicine informs my art practice.

The mediums I use depend on the intentions I have. Working in nature connected ways, my aim is to inspire others to connect deeper with nature in their own ways, be it through a creative process or simply by sitting with nature and paying attention to the nuances of the life that surrounds them.

Like nature itself, my work is ever-evolving.
