Renée Van Halm has been a significant figure in Canadian art for over forty years, both as a practicing artist and as an arts educator. Born in Amsterdam in 1949, Van Halm came to Canada in 1954. She earned her undergraduate graduate degree from the Vancouver School of Art in 1975, followed by a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Concordia University. In 1978, Van Halm moved to Toronto, where she was a founding member of the artist-run center Mercer Union and taught for over a decade at York University. In 1992, she was invited to join the faculty of Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where she has held the position of Emeritus Professor since her retirement in 2010. Renée Van Halm lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia.
