About

Kyra Lambert is a multidisciplinary artist and folk curator who practices metalcraft and holds immense reverence for folk art's importance in our collective storytelling and custodial remembering. In a curatorial capacity Kyra is interested in presenting stories and styles of work rarely shown in academic and institutional arts spaces and is committed to celebrating craftwork as an act of resistance.

Lambert is a silversmith and designer of sacred body adornments. In eroticizing symbols traditionally associated with divinity and worship, her work asserts the body as the altar and the offering. 

Her craftwork and curation has been featured in Craft Nova Scotia shows, Visual Arts News Magazine, gallery exhibitions and literary magazines. 

Kyra finds influence in the works and lives of Georgia O'Keefe, James Baldwin, Mary Magdalene, Margot of Taxco, Alexander Caldwell, William Spratling, Betty Davis, Ed Hardy, Nakai and all cowboys and folk artists before her.
