Ava Margueritte is a multidisciplinary artist based in Ottawa, Canada. Her work is informed by a life living with neurodiverse conditions that allow her to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary of everyday life. She uses photography, drawing and painting to express her emotional response to light and her surroundings, resulting in deeply personal and introspective imagery, with underlying themes of identity, time and impermanence.

She received a grant from the City of Ottawa and the Ontario Arts Council in 2022.
