TEACHER: Alexandrya Eaton, is the Hooked Rug Museum’s Canadain Artist of the Year. She is a contemporary Canadian painter whose practice has grown to include rug-hooking and weaving, incorporating the same vibrant palette and feminine icons across all mediums. Eaton’s work aims to explore phases of womanhood, combining traditional women’s craft practices with contemporary imagery. Over the years, Eaton’s paintings have been included in several important group exhibitions. Complete Bio is on the Museum’s website.
