Bri Vermeer is a disabled painter and printmaker from Tottenham, ON. Bri spent seven years completing a BFA in Drawing and Painting with a minor in Printmaking and a minor-in-progress/planned Graduate Certificate in Social Sciences. Her lived experience as an "invisibly" disabled artist and the additional framework of sociological study has influenced how Bri relates to shared and private studio spaces, and the institutional structures of post-secondary arts education.As both the the grandchild of Dutch immigrants and the daughter of a German immigrant to Canada post-WWII, Bri's childhood and familial histories are an integral part of navigating her current artistic practice. Her current work focuses on the intersections of memory, disability, family textiles, and movement through both the built and natural environment. She happily switches between the intuitive, physical process of creating large scale oil paintings; intimate and methodical process of printmaking; and small, delicate watercolour paintings.Bri's work has been included in several group exhibitions from Montréal, QC to Barrie, ON to Toronto, ON and is held in private collections in Canada, England, and the United States.
