Katherine Boyer is a Métis artist,[1] whose multidisciplinary practice focuses primarily on the mediums of sculpture, printmaking and beadwork.[2] She was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, but currently resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba[2]—a location that has had a direct influence on her current artistic practice.[3]

As an artist of Métis ancestry, Boyer's personal connection to the traditional narratives and practices of her Indigenous culture are continually articulated within her work.[2] The combination of these complex historical narratives coupled with an investigation of personal familial stories join together in shaping Boyer's research and artistic practice,[2] as she explores themes of place and identity.[1]
