Desirae Carmel

Coming out as a late-life lesbian at 3,5 after a 15-year marriage, Desirae’s journey of self-discovery is one of challenge, pain, joy, and freedome. Using sculpting as a means to explore her own sexuality, emotions, and the female form, Desirae endeavours to celebrate women in all their variety, shapes, histories, sexualities, and feelings. Desirae is living in Calgary with her three kids, and is participating in the Alberta LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce YYC Artist Showcases June 2024.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.
