Female Artists In Hamilton

My gallery space isn’t just for display. It’s a working studio where each piece is created with intention. The building itself, known locally as The Cotton Factory, is a creative ecosystem, housing painters, sculptors, media artists, and visionaries from all walks of life. Visitors often describe the space as inspiring, raw, and full of energy. Here, you’ll find work rooted in feminist themes, mental health, memory, and human connection.

About The Artist

I’m Monica Brinkman, creator of FeministART.ca and the Feminist Art Gallery in Hamilton. This space is an extension of my process: layered, evolving, and deeply informed by personal and collective stories. FeministArt.ca is where I share work that’s rooted in emotional honesty, quiet rebellion, and a touch of weird.

You can find me here painting most days, often with tea in hand and my dog Olive Branch snoozing nearby.
