My name is Echo Owen (previously Gardiner), I'm a 30 something female photographer and artist currently daydreaming out of London, Ontario. I consider myself a mixed media artist both exploring my favourite mediums of photography and painting separately and at times combining both disciplines.
I have a fascination with light and the drama it creates. I like to tell stories and communicate emotions with light and paint. I want to make art and explore life through my messy lens. I'm working on this being vulnerable thing and I want to see if my work can make any connections out there.
I was born in Dartmouth Nova Scotia moving to the London area when I was just a child. I studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto when I was 18 years of age, majoring in drawing and painting. I am self taught in the photography medium however I have had many mentors who took me under their wing.
