Nadia Myre is a multi-disciplinary visual artist from Montreal (Quebec), whose work is gaining critical acclaim. For over a decade she has explored notions of longing and loss, as well as the incessant human drive to reconcile the two.

Recent solo exhibitions include Scar Tissue, Smithsonian Institute National Museum of American Indian, New York (2010), Landscape of Sorrow and Other New Work, Art Mûr, Montreal (2009), and Cont[r]act, Gallery Oboro, Montreal (2002).
