Adeline Poufong, also known as Addy is an interdisciplinary artist and Expressive Arts Therapist living on the Unceeded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (also known as Vancouver)
Her journey so far is deeply rooted in exploration of cultural identity and self-discovery as she navigates ways to embrace her queerness, neurodivergence and mixed-race heritage, shaping her creative journey and providing a solid foundation for empowering others to embrace their identities and express themselves authentically.
Adeline’s formal artistic education began at Limerick School of Art and Design where she graduated in 2010 with a degree in ceramics and in 2018 she embarked on a new chapter by entering the film industry as a sculptor, painter, and prop maker. More recently, she graduated from Vancouver art therapy institute with a diploma in expressive Arts Therapy.
Today, her creative expression is unlimited as she continues to explore various mediums such as paint, sculpture, textiles, video, writing, poetry and sculpture. She also provides hair braiding services where she offers a diverse range of styles that help celebrate individuals unique expressions.
Adeline holds a strong belief that the arts can serve as a powerful medium for personal transformation and collective well-being and is passionate about providing a safe and nurturing space for others to experience this while continuing to nurture her own artistic growth.
