Snowy Owl by Decinti Simpson

Decinti S. is an artist from the North West Territories currently practicing in Edmonton. She works primarily in painting and drawing, but since joining the Nina Collective in 2017 she has experimented with sculpture as well.

Decinti’s subject matter varies with her mood. The floral motif that is the focus of many of her paintings is an expression of her joyful, energetic spirit. On days when she feels stressed or anxious she works through those feelings by painting abstract patterns in darker colours.

Decinti's work has been featured in several group exhibitions, include the Artists in the Fallow show at the Brighton Block in 2021. A large-scale reproduction of her "Fall Leaves" painting is on permanent display in the Edmonton EXPO Centre.
