đź”® Snack Witch Joni Cheung 🍡 is a grateful, uninvited guest born—and knows she wants to die—on the unceded territories of the xĘ·məθkwÉ™yĚ“É™m, SkwxwĂş7mesh, StĂł:lĹŤ, and SÉ™lĚ“ĂlwÉ™taĘ”/Selilwitulh peoples. They are a Certified Sculpture Witch with an MFA from Concordia University (2023). She holds a BFA with Distinction in Visual Art (2018) from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University.

Currently, they are based on the stolen lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka peoples.
They are a recipient of numerous awards, including the Individual Arts Grants—Visual Artists: British Columbia Arts Council; Research and Creation Grant: Canada Council for the Arts; and the Dale and Nick Tedeschi Studio Arts Fellowship.Â
Aside from art-making, Joni likes wandering down grocery store aisles and drinking bubble tea. Â Â Â
