Risa Horowitz

Risa Horowitz is a visual and media artist, associate professor, and Head of the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Regina where she teaches contemporary lens-based and expanded practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. She has lived and worked in seven Canadian provinces as an artist, educator, writer, and gallery programmer. Horowitz's practice blurs boundaries between expert-amateur, hobby-work, and leisure-productivity. Horowitz has received numerous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and several provincial funding bodies. Her works are in the collections of TD and BMO, the Canada Council Art Bank, and the Saskatchewan Arts Board. In 2014 twenty paintings from the Trees of Canada series were acquired for Canada House in London by Global Affairs Canada. In 2018 and 2019 Global Affairs also acquired two of Horowitz's arctic photographs, one of which is on permanent display at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C, along with several Trees of Canada on loan by Scotiabank.
