Acclaimed author of Art & Other Lies, Kathryn Ann Shipman is a performance art phenomenon and mixed media visual artist of unusual intensity. She has outraged, amused, and entertained her many fans throughout the Commonwealth and in the United States. She is known for her flagrant commingling of sexual imagery and religious symbolism to give form to her vision of what it means to be a woman and an artist. Born in Toronto in 1983, Shipman legally emancipated herself from her parents at the age of fifteen, whereupon she began to form her own ideas about art and society whilst making her way in the world as a street performer. She still lives in Toronto in what she refers to as a polyamorous family of radical artists. It wasn't Big Love but it's awfully close...
