Therea Godin // Eco-friendly Artist
Theresa Godin is an award-winning artist based in Nogojiwanong (Peterborough) Ontario.
Her work explores the relationship between humans and the natural world through playful and dreamlike narratives.
She works with mixed media and has recently shifted her practice to include only natural and earth friendly materials.
Her most recent work draws upon techniques acquired during her BFA (hon) from York University. This involves mixing pure oil with raw pigments and painting in thin layers the way that artists throughout history worked before mass manufactured paint became available.
She combines this technique with watercolour and photo collage elements to create a unique blend of traditional meets contemporary.

Unencumbered
These mixed media paintings explore the relationship between ourselves and nature, and the powerful role that women are playing in this dynamic. The world is shifting into uncharted and exciting territory as minority groups that have historically been disempowered, are now being given a voice. These vital and complex new voices are influencing the world at an impressive rate, shifting narratives, breaking long told myths, and reshaping what is possible.
Women and the natural world are depicted in a symbiotic relationship in these serene compositions. Unencumbered by clothing and societal conventions, these women simply allow their innate wisdom to guide them in maintaining a reciprocal relationship with the environment. They see the lie told by the capitalist system that it is impossible to live in harmony with nature for what it is: the powers that be trying to justify prolonging destructive practices so that they can continue to profit from them.
