About
Heather Rattray is a queer photographer born in Vancouver, British Columbia. She lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, and recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ryerson University School of Image Arts. Her work is primarily lens-based, and her art involves themes of identity, childhood, self-exploration and introspection. She was awarded Ryerson University Library’s First Edition Photobook Book Award in 2018 for her work entitled Unremarkable, and won an Honourable Mention for the Burtynsky Grant in 2019. She has been involved in numerous group exhibitions and held her first solo exhibition, The Virginity Project, in 2017.
