katie marie bruce (she/her) is an artist and printmaker, living and making work on Treaty 7 Territory in Sikóóhkotok, also known as Lethbridge, Alberta. She received an MFA from York University in 2015, where her thesis work was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
