Kat Toronto, aka "Miss Meatface", is a multidisciplinary artist hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area that works in performance based photography. Diagnosed with a rare form of cervical cancer in 2010 that eventually led to a total hysterectomy in 2013, Kat uses Miss Meatface as an artistic and spiritual catalyst to delve into a complex set of questions about where she now fits into society as a woman. 

“Miss Meatface began in mid-2014 as an artistically therapeutic outlet for me while I was going through a particularly traumatic period in my life: a year before I'd undergone a total hysterectomy for cervical cancer and my marriage was ending. The surgery left me confused and conflicted. Long after my body had physically healed my mind was still reeling from the experience. So I began using photography - self portraiture in particular - as a way to explore concepts of sexuality, feminine beauty, and gender roles in an effort to try and dissect all of these complex thoughts that had been riddling my mind.”

Kat currently resides in London, England.
