Mimi Gellman is an Ashkenazi, Anishinaabe/Métis visual artist and educator with a multi-streamed practice in architectural glass, drawing, painting and conceptual installation. Mimi’s interdisciplinary work explores phenomenology and technologies of intuition through an embodied practice of walking and mapping, with installations that point to the animacy and agency of objects. Her Anishinaabe /Métis worldview and the language that expresses it, predisposes her to the reality of the spirit and life of objects and their ability to communicate across diverse thresholds. She exhibits internationally, with exhibitions in France, Germany and Tokyo, and was included in the seminal exhibition, "On Line" at MoMa in New York City. Her work can be found in the collections of Price-Waterhouse, Kraft/General Foods Corp, the Toronto Transit Commission and Rogers Stadium.

Mimi has held space globally in her Mystery Mentorship program and retreats, as well as collaboratively with brands including Goop, Almost 30, Spirit House Collective, and Tokyo Smoke.
