About the Artist

Marie Watt is an American artist and citizen of the Seneca Nation with German-Scots ancestry. She was born in Seattle, Washington, and lives and works in Portland, Oregon. Her work draws from history, biography, Iroquois protofeminism, and Indigenous teachings; in it, she explores the intersection of history, community, and storytelling. Her process is both solitary and cooperative. Small works are personal meditations. Larger works are made in community, notably in sewing circles, public events in which anyone may participate. Through collaborative actions she instigates multigenerational and cross-disciplinary conversations that might create a lens for understanding connectedness to place, one another, and the universe. Watt holds an MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University. She attended Willamette University and the Institute of American Indian Arts. In 2016 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from Willamette University. Watt’s work is featured in the 2019 exhibitions Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950–2019 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City; and Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art at Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut.
