WhiteFeather is a Fredericton-based artist, arts educator, advocate, writer, curator and administrator.

  WhiteFeather is a multi-award winner and has received international attention for her sculptural fibre-based works, constructed mainly from found and mixed media, including human hair, and bone. Her work deals with ideas around identity and physicality, where cloth stands in for skin and bodily matter can become material for making.

 WhiteFeather has shown her work in several solo exhibitions throughout the Maritime region and in Toronto, as well as in numerous group and collaborative exhibitions.   WhiteFeather currently instructs at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), where she has been teaching for nine years, mainly in the Fibre Arts department. She also works as the Director of Arts Development at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre.

WhiteFeather shares and administers Studio4ward in downtown Fredericton, serves on the executive board for Gallery Connexion and for CARFAC Maritimes, and writes for various national art magazines and blogs. 

WhiteFeather holds a Bachelor of Applied Arts degree and a Certificate in Adult Education, both from the University of New Brunswick, as well as a Diploma in Fine Craft: Textiles, from NBCCD.

WhiteFeather will begin her MFA in Fibre and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010.
