Amberlie Perkin is an interdisciplinary artist and art educator. Her artwork investigates grief, kinship and the body as a wounded ecology. Perkin’s diverse practice is deeply rooted in the embodied experience of engaging with nature. Her creative processes enact cycles of regeneration, using grief and loss as dynamic material with which to build new forms. Her installations engender empathy while offering new modes of memory and memorial. Perkin holds both an MFA and BFA from Emily Carr University of Art & Design. She is the founder of Studio One One Six in Vancouver BC. In 2021, Amberlie was a Tedx speaker for the TEDxemilycarru Recognize series. In 2022, she was awarded the Emerging Artist Award by the Seymour Art Gallery, and the Won Lee Sculpture Award by the Canadian Sculpture Centre. She has participated in several art and design conferences across Canada and exhibited both locally and internationally.
