Born and raised on the Six Nations of the Grand River, Elizabeth Doxtater celebrates empowerment through her work.
As an author (Dreamfast 2018, and Art of Peace 2016), she explores traditional laws and teachings to contribute to the current move toward truth, reconciliation and repatriation.
As a cornhusk artist her work includes dioramas of traditional faceless dolls depicting: the ratification of the Great Law of Peace; the Journey of the Peacemaker and the teachings of Creation.
As a painter Elizabeth uses the term ‘reverse colonialism’ she also tackles issues related to women as seen in an unrelated project ‘the Three Sisters of Leonardo’, where three of the world’s most famous paintings of women are transformed as faceless images.
Elizabeth’s work has appeared in many galleries across North America, Australia, Africa and Germany.
