Born in Comox, British Columbia, she was trained by a master carver in traditional Kwakwaka'wakw design in the early 1990s. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 1996, and studied at the University of Victoria, graduating with a Masters in Fine Arts in 1999, a Masters in Linguistics and Anthropology in 2005, and a PhD in Linguistics and Anthropology in 2013. She also studied the Kwak'wala language and directed research investigating the link between indigenous language and indigenous worldview. She utilizes painting, photography, mixed-media, sculpture, and installation to create modern depictions of traditional Kwakwaka'wakw beliefs, and has exhibited in Canada and throughout the world since 1992) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Nicolson> |
