2023 Art Show Judge
Lisa Obirek is the studio facilitator of Artbeat Studio's artist residency. She oversees the 6-month peer-support space for artists who live with mental health challenges through facilitating group art sessions and mental health conversations, initiating outings and community connections, and connecting with the artists individually. Lisa has worked in the community arts with people of many ages, abilities, and relationships; it has brought her throughout the prairies, Southern Ontario, Zambia, and Madagascar. As an artist, Lisa works primarily with acrylic paint and linocut printmaking to work through grief and identity.
