Ada Denil works in a wide variety of mediums in her practice of sculpture and printmaking, which both inherently include drawing.

She has shown work locally in Halifax, NS, at the Corridor Gallery, Argyle Fine Art and the Company House, along with participating in several student showcases at NSCAD University. She was a guest artist and facilitator at the Lunenburg Documentary Film Festival, and has also worked with several youth workshops facilitating stop-motion animation camps at Artech Camps.

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.
