Liesl Jauk

Liesl has an extensive educational and professional background in fine arts, design and communications. She has completed an Associate of Fine Arts (Kwantlen College; drawing; painting; printmaking), a Bachelor of Arts in Art History (UBC) and a Masters degree in the Social History of Art (University of Leeds, UK).

Just prior to founding Rebus Creative with partner Bryan Pike, Liesl worked for four years as Communications Director for the Pacific Cinémathèque, where she oversaw all the publicity and graphic design needs of the company.

In an earlier life as a visual artist working in mixed media, she was a founding member of Artery, a collective of artists who had group exhibits at the Surrey Arts Centre and various café galleries in Vancouver.

Between and shortly after her art history degrees, Liesl was a key staffer at Imagination Market, coordinating their public creative art-making workshops and acting as artistic director.

Since October 2008, Liesl has been working at the City of Richmond as their Manager of Community Cultural Development. But she’s still here in spirit at Rebus Creative, where she is responsible for much of the company’s graphic design work and advises on many logistical aspects of event production and programming of events.

She is a past board member of the Public Dreams Society and the Holy Body Tattoo and is currently on the boards of the Mortal Coil Performance Society and Eponymous Productions.
