The Artful Vandal -
MissMe is a former marketing art director. After tiring of her work, she quit and became a street artist seeking full creative freedom. She is based in Montreal, Canada, and also travels the world to spread her work throughout the streets of New York, Dakar, London, Cuba, and Hong Kong. She has been featured on VICE, CBC, Brit + Co and many more.
Dubbed by Vice as Montreal’s premier art vandal, MissMe has been busy wheatpasting, preaching, and taking no prisoners.
Her explosive style draws you in, but it’s the amplification of marginalized voices in her bright, powerful works that give you something to take away.
She uses her art to challenge the traditional boundaries of street art and demonstrate the potential for public art to make a social change.
Wheatpaste on a grand scale.
MissMe’s unapologetic pieces command attention in sharp tones, exploring her own struggles with race, gender, society, and class while uplifting icons of the past. Her compelling, elegant, and sometimes unsettling large-scale wheatpastes swallow buildings whole, confronting issues of dignity and forcing us to reconsider our own truths.
“ Enemy of freedom is fear….
And the second one is ignorance.”
- MissMe
She shouts out for attention in an unapologetic way demanding the reflection upon our beliefs and behaviors.
Making social change and creating a culture of inclusion.
“Selfies” Abstract self-portraits
Her art has pushed beyond city walls to include collaborations with Nathon Kong, Romeos Gin, Litzi and Crave.
“To be born with a woman’s body is to bear the unsolicited burden of humanity’s unresolved attitudes towards sex”.
