Background

Marie Watt was born in 1967 in Seattle, Washington.[2] She holds a BA degree in art from Willamette University and a Master's Degree from Yale University. She has also studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts.

Artwork

Marie Watt's In the Garden (Corn, Beans, and Squash) on display in 2011.

Watt's art is primarily lithography and sculpture. For her sculpture, she uses a variety of materials, including everyday objects, as well as textiles, alabaster, slate, and cornhusks. In 2002, her stone sculpture Pedestrian was installed along the east bank of the Willamette River in Portland. Her work has appeared in several exhibitions in the Pacific Northwest.[3]

Career

In September 2004, as part of the Continuum 12 artists series, an exhibit of her work opened in New York City and the George Gustav Heye Center of the National Museum of the American Indian. The exhibit includes Blanket Stories, a sculpture made of two towers of wool blankets, with each stack sewn together with a central thread. The blankets are ones Watt collected over several years, including many Hudson's Bay point blankets that were given to Native Americans in trade by the Hudson's Bay Company during the 19th century.

She is currently a professor at Portland Community College and the gallery coordinator of its Northview Gallery.

Awards

Watt won the 2009 Bonnie Bronson Fellowship Award, the 2007 Anonymous Was A Woman Award, the 2006 Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship and the 2005 Eiteljorg Museum Artist Fellowship.[1]
