Main
Cindy Yan Lam (she/her) is a Canadian visual artist & papermaker based in Toronto. Her current practice focuses on working with handmade paper combined with stitching by hand and machine. Many of her abstract landscapes are influenced by her daily walking practice where she attunes to the many non-human lifeforms, we share our planet with. Her art practice aims to counter the frenetic pace of our highly digitized age where faster is often deemed better. She holds a Master of Fine Art from Falmouth University, UK. In late 2024 and early 2025 she travelled to Niigata, Japan to study traditional washi (paper) making under the tutelage of Master Papermaker, Hiroaki Imai and Washi Researcher/Papermaker, Paul Denhoed. Lam’s works have been exhibited locally and internationally. When she is not making art, you will find her exploring the residential streets, parks, and ravines in her neighbourhood with her two beloved Samoyed dogs aka her studio mates.
