Betiel Ghirmay is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto, working in ceramics, acrylics, and mixed media. Her Eritrean heritage deeply influences her diverse body of work, reflecting a vibrant blend of cultural themes and contemporary techniques. Central to her practice is the teaching and creation of the Jebena, a traditional clay coffee pot, which serves as both a personal and cultural exploration. Betiel’s work has been featured in exhibitions such as the Black Art Fair at Nia Centre, NExT The Future of Art at Meridian Arts Centre, and Fostering Connection organized by the Gardiner Museum. Betiel is currently developing new projects that further explore the intersections of culture and materiality.
