Aleta Armstrong

Aleta Armstrong’s vibrant paintings and intricate drawings are emblematic of her social, environmental and spiritual concerns, merging often dreamlike and surreal scenes with her signature rendering of human and animal characters to communicate her powerful and contemplative perspective. With a practice that is rooted in reverence for humanity’s connection with the natural world, Armstrong has over the years developed a variety of distinct anthropomorphized characters echoing messages of peace, social engagement and creative freedom. A prolific artist and cultural practitioner, Armstrong has done illustrations for various international organizations and has curated over 60 exhibitions through her work as a curator.
