Ira Hoffecker is a German-Canadian artist, emigrating from Germany to Canada in 2004 and now a Canadian citizen. She resides and maintains her art practice in Vancouver, Canada and New York, USA, and is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Hoffecker holds a Master of Fine Arts (2018) from Plymouth University (England) and Transart Institute, New York (USA) and a first-class Bachelor (Honours) in Fine Art (2015) from the University of Gloucestershire (England). She previously obtained a Diploma of Fine Arts (2013) from Vancouver Island School of Art, Victoria (Canada). Her work has been exhibited in solo, duo and group exhibitions in Germany, England and Canada. In her 'Imagined Landscapes' series, Hoffecker explores what it means to be present. Her compositions move with rhythm, shaped by the meeting of geometry and organic forms. This balance creates sensorial and psychological intrigue through visual contrast between structured landscape composition and imagined living plant forms. Hoffecker invites viewers into this interplay, where sensation and thought interact. Her series draws on and enlivens shared human patterns, such that Imagined Landscapes transport us to the essence of being.
