Bettina Matzkuhn explores themes of ecology, weather, and geography in her fibre work. Addressing nature through the opulence of hand embroidery, she values the versatile language of textiles. Matzkuhn holds a BFA and an MA from Simon Fraser University and is the recipient of Canada Council and British Columbia Arts Council Grants. She has exhibited across Canada, as well as in Korea, Mexico, and the USA. Her work is found in national public collections such as the Surrey Art Gallery, Cambridge Art Gallery, and the Weldon Map Library at Western University. She lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia.
