Lot Report

Note:

Born in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Torrie Groening attended the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design where she studied printmaking, graduating in 1983. Moving to Toronto in 1985, she worked at Open Studio and became Director of the Lithography section in 1986. At Open Studio, Groening worked alongside Don Holman, Harold Klunder, Janet Cardiff and Otis Tamasauskas. She would later return to Vancouver where she continued to teach at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and the University of Victoria throughout the 1990s. After a decade living in San Francisco, Groening returned to Vancouver in 2009. Groening’s current practice incorporates traditional printmaking and photography with digital technology. Layering altered photographs of drawings, prints, objects, and landscapes, Groening creates incongruous yet familiar trompe l’oeil images.
