DIONNE CO is a comics artist based in East Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations.

Born in Manila of Chinese (Hokkien) descent, Dionne graduated with a BA in English, PBD in Social Policy and a Master’s degree in Urban Studies. Her interdisciplinary work using comics, fiction and social research investigates the contradictions between alienation and intimacy in urban life. Dogs feature prominently in her narrative and illustrative work, providing a way to interrogate questions about what we can learn from the other-than-human world, and what it means to live together across differences.

In addition to her art, Dionne is also committed to the principles of community organizing, mutual aid and the solidarity economy. She is a long time member at Solid State and is set to exhibit her work at Slice of Life Gallery and Alternative Creations Studio in 2025.

Dionne lives with dogs Horace and Lila and enjoys reading novels.
