Torrie Groening is a Vancouver-based artist whose hybrid studio practice merges photography, traditional printmaking, and digital technology to create layered photographic works. With over 30 years of engagement with printmaking as artist, master printer, teacher, gallerist, and collector, Groening has developed a distinctive approach that transforms the peripheral material of her studio into elaborate still life compositions.
Drawing from her extensive personal collections, she constructs scenes that embody multi-linear and often auto-fictive narratives, where objects become characters in layered visual stories. Her work reflects an investment in the material culture of artistic production itself—the ephemera, tools, and accumulated artifacts that populate creative spaces.
Groening studied printmaking at Emily Carr College of Art + Design and is an alumna of The Banff Centre. She has exhibited extensively throughout Canada and internationally, with her works held in over 40 museum and public collections including the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada Council Art Bank, Georgetown University (Washington, DC), Alberta College of Art and Palm Springs Museum, California.
