  • Embroidery thread
  • Pins

  • A ruler.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Juliana Scherzer is a Mississauga based textile artist working with preserved leaves and ecoprinting. Her work explores the role of humanity in the natural world through the subtle repetition of structures and patterns in deciduous trees, craft, the human body, and city environments.
After graduating from Sheridan College with a Bachelor of Craft and Design in 2018, Juliana spent three years as an artist-in-residence at the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design where she continued to build her practice while branching out into production work and teaching textile and art courses in the community. In 2021 Juliana relocated to Toronto, Ontario to join Harbourfront Centre's Artist-in- Residence Program. Juliana continues to teach hand-on textile courses within the GTA, aiming to bring fresh ideas and energy to her students' creativity through the introduction of new techniques.
