Tonya Hart is a Canadian artist based in Toronto. Her artwork is known for its use of light, energy, and magnetism to create a connection with the natural world. Her light-based sculptures vary in scale and aim to evoke the energy found within natural phenomena, Hart’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2018.

Lorraine Pierce-Hull was one of the first independent art appraisers in Canada operating her business for twenty five years before heading to the National Capital Commission in Ottawa. There, she was a Project Manager for a variety of Commemorations and headed up the formation of the new Public Art Policy and Program. Her final step before formal retirement was working as a consultant for the Canada Council Art Bank.  Recently, she returned to Calgary where she takes on very specific projects usually within the Public Art Realm. She is thrilled to be part of Tonya Hart’s project team bringing “Infra” to Chinook Blast.
