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 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. Lam also travels to Niigata, Japan periodically to study washi (paper) making under the tutelage of Master papermaker, Hiroaki Imai and paper researcher, Paul Denhoed. She shares her love of papermaking facilitating workshops at the Paperhouse Studio in Toronto. She has 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.
