Anna Jane McIntyre is a multidisciplinary artist with a foundation in print media and installation. She graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, where she majored in printmaking and from the MFA studio arts print media programme at Concordia University in Montréal. McIntyre's love of the nighttime spectacle, cheap glamour, the complexity of being human, lights and action has resulted in an obsession with the circus arts. Her work explores animism, ritual, the invisible, the imagined, the agreed upon, balance and the powerful allure of the asymmetrical. Her work has been published by House of Anansi Press, Walrus magazine, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Peace magazine, Regal Beast, Broken Pencil, Hamilton Arts & Letters as well as in her own zines and democratic postcard series. She has performed at Clinton's Tavern, Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Theatre St. Catherine and Griffintown Interstice and has been exhibiting her work regularly since 1998. Her most recent projects may be viewed at www.annajmcintyre.com and dontarguewithghosts.blogspot.com. She lives and works in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
