Pixie is a Canadian contemporary artist living and working in Toronto. Her many commissions, primarily outdoor sculptures for both private and institutional settings, have been shown internationally since 1965.
A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), Pixie has received numerous Ontario Arts Council awards and an Ontario Society of Arts award. As a member of OCAD’s Fine Arts faculty for twelve years, and its President for a year, she both taught and served in a key administrative role.
While at OCAD, Pixie apprenticed to British sculptor Lynn Chadwick. Later, she was Artist-in-Residence at the Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking Studio in the USA, and worked with master printmaker Anthony Kirk. Then, while living in England, she was responsible for the design and build of Titness Park in Ascot, adjacent to the Royal Family’s Windsor Great Park.
The careful, disciplined attention to scale, form and light so striking in all of Pixie’s work, especially her sculptures and photographs, is also evident in her fascination with fortuitously found objects.
