they/she

sab meynert is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Ontario, working by hand across traditional and digital mediums to synthesize and activate the multiformity of life's infinitely unfolding nature.

Between fine work on paper, published artist multiples, national & international gallery shows, grant-funded bodies of work, community collaborations, her world-distributed book work, public animation installations, kinetic sculpture, wearables, an ongoing somatic-tattoo practice began in 2018, and most recently, integrating the community-based meditation workshops circa 2013 with intuitive mark-making, sab is the embodiment of an artist working in dynamic multiplicity.
