-----------------------------------
Since beginning her artistic career in the early 1980s, Susan Point has produced a significant body of work in the Coast Salish tradition. Ranging in medium from jewelry to prints, paintings and monumental sculpture in wood and glass, Point’s work expresses both ancestral concepts and contemporary concerns. Point’s inventiveness, her love of working on a large scale, and her innovative vision have led to many prestigious public commissions.
She has completed works for the Vancouver International Airport, the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology and the Victoria Convention Centre, among many others. Point’s work has been included in over 60 group exhibitions and solo shows. In 2000, Point received an honorary Doctorate of Arts degree from the University of Victoria for her contributions to the art world.
