Justine Stilborn
Hey, I'm Justine but you can call me Tini -since that's how I sign all my art - I joined CARFAC upon completing my Bachelor's of Fine Arts at the University of Regina in 201. At the time of graduating, they were looking for student representation on the board so I applied but graduated shortly after joining and instead contributed as an Artist Voting Member. Through my participation with CARFAC as on their Board of Members I have found my voice, and everyone who I've met through CARFAC has been so supporting and uplifting I have gained confidence as an artist and advocate of the arts. I greatly enjoy the connections I make, all that I've learned about non-profit arts organizations and the opportunity to influence our local arts community. Since joining CARFAC I've come to admire past and present members who have shared their voices.
I am currently President on the board and am a full-time working mother. I am a practicing artist although the time for my practice is very limited. My work focuses on drawing and painting, I would consider my work to be illustrative in nature, but I don't consider myself to be an illustrator. I have had my own solo exhibition, participated in a few other group exhibitions, some juried, I have also had my work published in a few books, and developed education packages for a few galleries and museums I prefer digital mediums due to my lack of time available and also the accessibility of the medium. I prefer my work to be playful, commercially appealing, and illustrative. I also like to add layers of meaning and to challenge identity, consumerism, and always with a nod to popular culture.
