Bio
Leaving my home to study and live in Halifax has made me appreciate the value of rural life. Unfortunately, I have seen many of its positive aspects starting to disappear. This is a big part of what drives my passion for nurturing community. In the past, I have done projects to enliven and engage the community I come from. My current art practice focuses on the tactility of my artwork and exploring different ways I can make my work more accessible especially to the visually impaired. Facilitating dialogue and connection between community members is a continuing goal in my upcoming projects.

For Mosher, working with the visually impaired is a personal topic because she has had experience with her own visual impairment in childhood. Her work reflects a variety of explorations into how to make art in the tactile realm.
