Corey J. Isenor is originally from Enfield, Nova Scotia, and now lives in Sackville, New Brunswick. His current studio practice concentrates on drawing, sculpture, and mixed-media work, with a focus on exploring the relationship between abstraction and the natural environment.

Penelope Smart studied Anthropology and Political Science at Mount Allison University and works as a radio journalist in Quebec and New Brunswick. Her visual art projects include installations exploring light and textiles.

Amanda Fauteux is currently finishing her MFA at Concordia University. Through sewing, zines, animation and gentle public engagement, she weaves together stories, tells secrets and lovingly makes jokes. For her show, Amanda will share new works in progress, a projection and a bookwork reenacting an old dream and recent doubt. For more on Amanda Fauteux, visit www.neverbemean.com.
