Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Whittome, Irene, 1942- : Irene F. Whittome (born 1942), is a contemporary artist of national and international reputation with over 35 solo exhibits to her credit and 130 group exhibitions that have been held throughout Canada, Europe and the United States.

Prior to taking up residence in Québec, the Vancouver born artist attended the Vancouver School of Art and spent another 5 years of study in printmaking at the Atelier 17 of Stanley William Hayter in Paris, France. Almost immediately upon her return to Canada in 1968, Irene F. Whittome began her teaching career at Concordia University, Faculty of Fine Arts. In 1974, she created the innovative "Open Media" programme to accommodate developing artists at both the undergraduate and graduate level whose work sidestepped the boundaries of more traditional disciplines. Made full professor in 1995, Irene F. Whittome continues to teach Open Media and Painting at the graduate level as well as courses in numerous visual arts disciplines at the undergraduate level. Her own revolution as an artist has been interdisciplinary, beginning with explorations and creative work in printmaking, painting, drawing, then moving into the areas of installation in her more recent work through her use of architecture, lighting and sound.
