Ashlee Marcus is a multidisciplinary artist from Thunder Bay, Ontario. She has a BFA Honours Degree in Theatre Design from York University and a Certificate in Technical Hand Embroidery with Merit from the Royal School of Needlework in London, UK.

Ashlee has contributed to the performing arts community in Canada for over twenty years and has been creating embroideries since childhood. Her textile practice is a stitch-and-humor mashup where pop culture meets pixelated perfection, all

owing her to delve into portraiture in a way that is both intimate, dynamic, and often a little silly.

Oh! Holey Night was created by layering a unique narrative into a vintage embroidery to celebrate the dancers and clubs that make Toronto so special. Who's ready to party?
