Ayla Dmyterko b. 1988

Ayla Dmyterko (b. 1988, Saskatchewan, Canada) is a Ukrainian-Canadian artist currently based in Glasgow, Scotland. She received her MFA from the Glasgow School of Art, where Dmyterko was awarded the Graduate Fellowship through the Glasgow Sculpture Studios. She has been in residence at the Banff Centre (Canada) and completed the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine (US).
