Olivia de Fleuriot Perry is a multidisciplinary artist based in Milton, ON, whose practice centres on sculpture, drawing and painting. She earned her MFA from Emily Carr University in 2019 with the support of a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship. In 2026, her work was shown at N/A Gallery (Guelph, ON), included in the Annual Juried Exhibition at Latcham Art Centre (Stouffville, ON), published in Syphon (Cultivate Art Commons, Kingston, ON), and she participated in both the Harvest Moon Artist Residency (Clearwater, MB) and the Banff Artist in Residence program (Banff, AB). Previous exhibitions include the 2023 Fraser Valley Biennial at The Reach Gallery Museum (Abbotsford, BC), Cartography of Care at Spilt Milk Gallery (Edinburgh, UK, 2022), and publication in Issue 3 of MILKED Magazine (Baltimore, MD, 2021). In Spring 2027, de Fleuriot Perry will present a solo exhibition at Forest City Gallery, London, ON.

de Fleuriot Perry’s recent practice is deeply informed by research in queer ecologies, hydrofeminism, and affect theory. Her work mobilizes states of limerence, longing, and desire as conceptual tools to subvert heteronormative environmental structures and open pathways to new forms of ecological intimacy and collective care beyond binary frameworks. Through performative image-making, writing, drawing, and site-specific sculptural installation, she navigates the dynamic tensions between attraction and unfamiliar distance, emergence and decline, and ecological alienation and belonging. Grounded in participatory methodologies and lived experience as a non-binary artist, her evolving material practice extends into community workshops and collective making. By moving through and repeatedly collecting from specific sites across seasons, de Fleuriot Perry foregrounds care, observation, and embodied research—inviting others to reflect on their relationships with the more-than-human world and imagine transformative possibilities for care and resilience.
