Meet Vanja
Vanja Vukelić is a writer and artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her work reflects the profound connection between women and plants, drawing inspiration from her rich cultural heritage and personal narratives. Vukelić bridges the spiritual, physical, and natural realms, crafting intimate dialogues through her works on paper—comments, conversations, and interpretations of her inner and outer environments.
Growing up in Vareš, Bosnia, on the Balkan Peninsula, Vanja’s creative vision and instinctual depth are deeply rooted in her ancestral ties to the land. Nature has always been a living kin, a nurturing relationship that has offered insight, belonging, and balance.
Vanja’s practice centers on themes of intuition, identity, and interconnectedness.
Her work engages in a dialogue between writing, figurative drawings, and abstract paintings, illustrating her exploration of new mediums during the transformative experience of motherhood.
Vanja’s art has found expression on the skin of women worldwide and has been commissioned by private collectors, businesses, and brands for editorial and surface design.
MOTHER // ARTIST
Mother // Artist, founded by Vanja, is a community space that offers local workshops, discussions, nature walks, and one-on-one Zoom sessions. It challenges the patriarchal norms affecting mothers and artists, often undermining culture, creativity, and caretaking.
Mother // Artist provides an intuitive space for participants to engage in meaningful dialogue and creative exploration, highlighting the unseen, unspoken, and undervalued contributions of both motherhood and art.
