About

Kristin Bjornerud’s watercolours are open-ended poetic narratives that reflect on our

complicated relationships to each other and the natural world. Intertwining metaphor

with realism, her work concentrates on the female figure as a way of exploring concepts

of identity, memory, and landscape through the lens of modern eco-feminism. Kristin

holds a BFA from the University of Lethbridge, Alberta and an MFA from the University

of Saskatchewan. She has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the

Saskatchewan Arts Board, the Ontario Arts Council and the Conseil des arts et des

lettres du Québec. Her work is represented in numerous public collections including the

Canada Council Art Bank, the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the Canadian Collection of

the Brucebo Museum (Sweden). Originally from Alberta she has lived in many places

across Canada and Europe and is now based in Merigomish, Nova Scotia.
