Rachelle Wunderink is a queer feminist artist whose work examines the implications of gender through the lens of embodiment. Centered on themes of sexual assault trauma, motherhood, and the complexities of “women’s work,” her practice explores how women navigate these experiences within societal expectations and personal transformation. Recently, her work has expanded to consider matrescence—the shifting identity that accompanies the transition to motherhood—offering a nuanced exploration of this profound transformation.

The work on offer at this year’s Art With Heart was a recipient of the Superframe Framing Grant in 2024 for Wunderink’s show at the Niagara Artists Centre.
