d. June Conley
For June, making art is in her blood. When she is working on a piece it becomes her life. She recycles everything she possibly can; going to scrap yards and taking long walks, always searching for new materials. She believes that each piece has its own history and story to tell. She makes sculptures out of found, recycled and salvaged objects. In her work the piece has to have purpose, then becoming “functional art”. In 1988, she attended Emily Carr University of Art and Design where she received her Diploma in Fine Arts with 3D (Sculpture). Her repertoire is a mix of mediums and materials: painting, drawing, carving wood, metalwork, repurposing, sculpture.
