Artist: Abby Nowakowski

Abby Nowakowski (she/they) is a queer interdisciplinary artist and art educator currently living and working in Central Frontenac. Through printmaking, illustration, and handpoke tattooing, they spread advocacy for care, share stories, and make space for radical softness. Abby is drawn to the gentler pace of handpoke which has fostered a more comfortable and empowering setting for clients. Driven by curiosity and kindness, their practice extends into art facilitation with a range of collaborations, workshops, and performances which radiate from queer ecologies and friendships.
