About the Artist - MICA FERMENT

I grew up in the United States but moved on to live in Canada and Denmark, so I have lived the benefits of free access to healthcare.
I have spent most of my life facing symptoms of autoimmune disease. I have found partial healing through holistic methods, like consuming tibicos, but my body at this point is truly allergic to stress. I meditate and create as a way of reducing the effects of stress.
I have a degree in Civil/Environmental Engineering from the University of Toronto. I have a diploma in holistic nutrition from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. I wanted to use art to demonstrate how much healthcare can cost when the goal is disease prevention and not profit generation.
