I combine beadwork and oil painting, two traditionally contrasting materials, to create a language that interprets my inner world. My work references Haudenosaunee visual and material culture and adds my voice to its continuance. The work I create becomes a reflection of the stories carried in the body and reclaims the stories held within the beadwork I\u2019m referencing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Which mentor figure(s) made the greatest impact on you?<\/i>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Using materials as a form of language has always been a part of my life and story. Growing up, I watched my Dad paint and it has always been through conversations with him about painting and material culture that has deepened my understanding of who I am. He has always encouraged me to become an artist. During my MFA I am grateful to have met and worked with my professors Bea Parsons and Hannah Claus, both of whom have helped me shape my work and have also connected me with many people and opportunities as I adjusted to living in a new city.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>If you could tell your younger self something, what would it be?<\/i>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I would tell my younger artist self to experiment with many ways of working, and to follow all of the things that I\u2019m drawn to and bring many influences and experiences into the work. It takes time to recognize the consistencies that come up across your work and to realise that this is your artistic voice coming through, this is how you tell your story. I would also say that it\u2019s okay to take your time becoming who you&#8217;re meant to be.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='hr av-mtbyrcpi-639e4be5b51c79eff85bd5253f671940 hr-default'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_5'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-74622'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-18i97mm-bc2ac0b1fa8c338e4d002628ce54b32e\">\n.avia-section.av-18i97mm-bc2ac0b1fa8c338e4d002628ce54b32e{\nbackground-color:#000000;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_6'  class='avia-section av-18i97mm-bc2ac0b1fa8c338e4d002628ce54b32e main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-74622'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mtbyswd2-0143745634b234eaea1d0ee7250f858c\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mtbyswd2-0143745634b234eaea1d0ee7250f858c{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mtbyswd2-0143745634b234eaea1d0ee7250f858c .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mtbyswd2-0143745634b234eaea1d0ee7250f858c .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mtbyswd2-0143745634b234eaea1d0ee7250f858c .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mtbyswd2-0143745634b234eaea1d0ee7250f858c av-special-heading-h2 custom-color-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >What\u2019s Next for Sierra Barber&#8230;<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_6'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-74622'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mtbyiani-402c61d381096baf4f24e69dac800f97 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW72008442 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW72008442 BCX0\">Sierra\u2019s upcoming solo exhibition, <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW72008442 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW72008442 BCX0\"><em>Portals<\/em> <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW72008442 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW72008442 BCX0\">will be shown at Equinox Gallery in Vancouver, BC in October 2026.
