Kemo is a Fibre Artist, working in Vancouver. She has been an active member of the Arts Factory Collective since 2015. She studied textile arts with The College of North Atlantic in Newfoundland and with Capilano University in North Vancouver. Her technical skills include knitting, embroidery, fibre dying, weaving and quilting, with knitting being the most explored and beloved. Before switching her creative impulses to fibre, she was a thespian and teacher, gaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Education Degrees at The University of Calgary.
As a fibre artist, Kemo has a post modern view with her work, combining the past and present to create something original by pushing the boundaries of these materials and traditional techniques towards new found forms. A background in theatre has guided her to combine the two art forms of performance and the visual, often incorporating elements of narrative, emotion and character studies.
