Ada Denil has shown work locally (Halifax, NS) at the Corridor Gallery, Argyle Fine Art and the Company House, along with participating in several student showcases at NSCAD University.

In 2020 she was shortlisted for the NSCAD Student Art Awards, and has received several academic scholarships for her work in sculpture, printmaking and drawing from the NSTT, the AJC, and NSCAD University. Her artistic practice is balanced with an interest in facilitation of youth programming in the arts: She has facilitated several youth workshops and stop-motion animation programs at Artech Camps from 2012-2020, and was a guest artist and facilitator at the Lunenburg Documentary Film Festival in 2013.

She grew up on the south shore of Nova Scotia in LaHave, and now lives, studies and works both in Halifax and the south shore.
