Katrina Craig
Katrina Craig is a visual artist, craftsperson, and art administrator living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Treaty 1 Territory.
Her background in textiles and fashion are found in her work through her use of fibre, three dimensional soft sculpture forms, and the use of textile techniques and needlework in her mixed media projects. While Craig’s work has a continuing thread of textiles, her work often engages with other modes of making including: photography, video, hand lettered text, drawing and writing.
Craig uses an innate feature of craft based practice: time, labour and process, as a means to explore the intersection of the body and the mind. Her work often references or interacts with the body, exploring topics such as chronic illness, grief, change and transformation.
Craig has exhibited across Manitoba, including ‘Paper Letters’ at MHC Gallery (2024), ‘Sick Party’ at AANM (2024), ‘It Washes Over’ at Ace Art Inc (2018) and ‘The Process of Closure’ tour through rural Manitoba and southwestern Ontario with Manitoba Arts Network (2017-18). She has offered a variety of textile workshops across the province and has received numerous regional arts grants.
Originally from Prince Edward Island, Katrina Craig attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textiles and Fashion. Craig’s passion for textiles and community building has found a home at the Manitoba Craft Council where she has held the role of Programme and Community Engagement Coordinator since 2019.
