A Hamilton artist, Shea Chang’s speculative and haunting visual languages illuminate the hidden tensions of social, technological, and ecological thresholds. Often described as primal, archeological, and reminiscent of alien ephemera or vintage graphic design, her artistic practice is informed by her multi-racial and queer identities, shapeshifting between the realms of drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, and public art.

With over 15 years of exhibitions,  publications, and presentations across Canada, the USA, Portugal, and Singapore, her work has been featured on platforms like CBC Arts, Mepaintsme, Opaloma, and Regional Archive. Her education and training span both art and design fields, with a Diploma of Fine Arts from Langara College in Vancouver and a Bachelor of Design in Illustration from OCAD University in Toronto. During her MFA in Visual Art at York University in Toronto, Shea received a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) scholarship award and the 2020 Samuel Sarick Purchase Prize.

Shea currently works as an Associate Professor of Illustration at OCAD University (Toronto), and lives & works in Hamilton, Ontario.
