Mina Lord

Mina Lord is a contemporary visual artist known for her evocative exploration of memory, identity, and the fluid boundaries between the seen and unseen. Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Lord’s formative years were steeped in both the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the multicultural influences of the city. Her practice spans painting, installation, and mixed media works, drawing inspiration from personal archive, literature, and the haunting quietude of everyday moments.

Lord’s signature use of delicate layering, muted color palettes, and subtle textural shifts invite viewers to pause and consider the ephemeral nature of experience. Her art has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally, earning her critical acclaim for her ability to craft introspective visual narratives. A graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Lord continues to live and work in Vancouver, where she is active in artist-led collectives and community-focused projects that aim to foster dialogue across generations and backgrounds.
