Ada Ho

Ada is an artist, model, and self-portraitist based in Canada. During her youth, she was influenced by gifted linguists and poets and used literature as her first artistic expression. However, in her adult life, she discovered dance, circus, and other movement arts as a student and then as a teacher. Over the past few years, she has been using her experience in the physical arts to inform and translate directly into her artistic work. There is a beautiful quote by Martha Graham that says, "The body says what words cannot." Both as a self-portraitist and as an artist/model in front of the lens of other photographers, she has always endeavoured to create emotive work: using the body as a vessel to express movement and sensation, both intensely and softly, as the moment requires. This, to her, is a lifelong and everlasting endeavour. Her love of creation and collaborating with other artists has driven her to travel, work, and exhibit internationally in dozens of countries.
