Priscilla Kar Yee Lo

Priscilla Kar Yee Lo is a Canadian artist working in glass with a focus on identity, memory, and cultural narratives. She grew up in an immigrant family and spent a decade in health care before committing fully to her artistic practice. Glass attracted her for its paradox of fragility and permanence, a material quality that mirrors the tension she explores in her work. She holds a Bachelor of Craft and Design from Sheridan College and an MFA from Illinois State University. Her career includes residencies at the Rochester Institute of Technology, the Pittsburgh Glass Center, and other international programs. In 2024 she was recognized with the Saxe Emerging Artist Award.

Priscilla’s  jewellery collection highlights the paradox of glass, a material that can appear fragile yet convincingly imitate metal, ceramic, and other substances. Each flameworked piece combines refined form, engraved surfaces, and vibrant contemporary colors to create pieces that feel both delicate and current. The work carries a quiet elegance with minimalist clarity while inviting a closer look at the disguises hidden within the material.
