Tania Sanhueza


Tania Sanhueza is a Toronto based textile artist and illustrator, and graduate of the Ontario Collage of Arts and Design. Known for her finely crafted owls, mushrooms and city squirrel character, Ciccioponi, Sanhueza's soft sculptures explore the social fabric of urban life and the problems of local poverty. Also interested in animal and ecological preservation, her sculptures are laboriously constructed from found or recycled, environmentally conscious materials.
