Lana Filippone is a sculpture artist living and
working in Toronto. She grew up on the historic
shores of Georgian Bay. A passion for story-telling
and a firm relationship with natural history and
folklore have found their way into the whimsical
narratives that she creates. Lana received an
Honours degree from Queen's University and a
diploma in Ceramic, Craft and Design from Sheridan
College. She exhibits her work internationally, most recently as a Canadian
contributor to a historic cultural conversation, exhibiting her piece "En
Ecrins" at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, (Louvre, Paris),
about Canadian species at risk. She is a medalist of the Société Academique
Arts-Sciences-Lettres. Lana strives to access an archetypal language that
allows magic to exist in our everyday lives through mythology and mysticism.
Her material, once malleable or liquid minerals, is symbolically transformed
by the elements, then crystallized in time.
