On Mar. 25th, 2014, interdisciplinary artist Liz Carter will give a free lecture to staff, students, and members of the public as part of the Winter 2014 Artist Talk Lecture Series, organized by North Island College & Emily Carr University.

Originally from Alert Bay, Liz Carter currently resides with her family in Campbell River. She is a graduate of North Island College's Fine Arts program. She has received numerous awards including the VADA, (visual arts development award) A First Peoples, Heritage, Language and Cultural Award, BC Arts Council Award, and recently had work purchased by the Canadian Art Bank in Ottawa and Awarded a commission of a permanent piece for the 2010 Olympics.

Carter's journey through the labyrinth of mixed meanings embedded within her Native ancestry and her blue-collared upbringing is driven by process. She uses culturally significant materials like wood, copper, buttons, and animal skins in new ways- with hints from the past and questions about how cultures are interpreted.

The lecture will be held from noon to 12:50 in the Stan Hagen Theatre at the Comox Valley campus. Admission is free and lectures are open to the public.
