The specialty of the artist

The final artist of the winter semester is Star Crop Eared Wolf, a multi-media multi-disciplinary artist who is Contemporary Calgary's Ksahkomiitapiiks Artist-in-Residence 2024. Her work with prairie flowers and the use of organic materials and play with texture has attracted the attention of art lovers across Alberta. The pieces he creates are infused with his Blackfoot heritage, and he uses flora and fauna from places that evoke the teachings of Blackfoot elders. Wolf's photographic work also evokes his connection to his tribe and an ongoing dialogue with his modern interpretation, as a boy growing up on the Blood Reserve near Sikohokotok, commonly known as Lethbridge. More details about his residency can be found here.
