Biography

Solange Roy is a queer, francophone, Indigenous ceramic artist living and working in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her studio practice focuses on sculptural, hand-built ceramics, producing intricate and colourful dessert-inspired works.

Roy received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours from the University of Manitoba in 2022. She was awarded the People’s Choice Award at the BFA Honours Exhibition for her installation Table for One. The centrepiece of this installation, a three-tiered cake sculpture titled You Want a Piece of Me?, won the provincial prize in the BMO 1st Art! National Competition and was subsequently exhibited at the University of Toronto.

In 2025, Roy completed a five-month artist residency at the Medalta International Artists-in-Residence Program in Medicine Hat, Alberta. During this residency, she produced new work for her first solo exhibition, Rester sur sa Faim, which opened in March 2025 at the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain in Winnipeg. She returned to Medalta as an artist-in-residence from January to February 2026, during which she began developing a new sculptural collection.
