Early life and Education
Lindsay Ruth Embree (1956—Present) is a Canadian printmaker and lithographer born in Goodsoil, Saskatchewan and grew up in Chetwynd, British Columbia.[1] In 1981, Embree graduated from Queens University in Kingston Ontario with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and a specialty in Printmaking.[2] Her teachers and mentors, Otis Tamsauskas, and Carl Heywood, inspired Embree to pursue a printmaking career.[2] Embree furthered her studies, with a concentration in etching, waterless printing and traditional stone and plate lithography at the University of Saskatchewan and graduated with a master’s degree in Fine Arts in 1988.[2] Following her training, Embree became enthusiastic about folk art and learned the value in improvising utility objects, “from paintings on the wall to the carpets on the floor,” into creative artwork.[1] The content of Embree’s artwork became more personified than abstract, and carried Australian aboriginal themes, allowing her to “discover and explore [her] personal history.” [1] In 1997 Embree studied a CIELAB System/color space at Red Deer College. Embree transitioned from paper printing media to textile printing media and learned how to make her “own hand dyed fabrics.[1] Embree’s versatility in Printmaking paved the way for opportunities to design costumes for the theatrics and crafts communities in Saskatchewan.[1]
Career
Between 1982 and 1997, Embree lectured students at the University of Saskatchewan and managed various Printmaking, fibre dying, and bookbinding workshops.[2] Embree participated in numerous local and international artist collaborative events. During the Whangarei biennale art collaborations, Embree had the opportunity to build a relationship with multi-award-winning couture designer, Nadine Jaggi, who has worked on The Hobbit, Avatar, and District 9.[3] In 1998 Embree was invited to participate in the biennial EMMA International Collaboration events held in the Boreal Forest of Northern Saskatchewan.[1] In 2013, Embree joined the EMMA committee responsible for organizing the week-long international collaboration event that hosts the participation of about 100 diverse artists from around the world to create collaborative artwork.[1] According to Embree, her experiences at Emma collaborations have been a great source of inspiration for her career.[4] Furthermore, Embree worked as a costume assistant on 21 seasons of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and has also participated as an organizer and producer for the Saskatchewan Wearable Art Gala (SWAG) since 2013.[1]
Exhibitions and Collections
Embree has created various artworks since 1979, some of which have been showcased across Canada and beyond borders in the United States, Norway, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands at prestigious events such as the Florence Biennial (2009) in Italy.[1] Some of Embree’s iconic hand printed designs like Nothing Beats Nature (2014), A woman’s Skin (2014) and collaborative works like Strange Fruit (2012) have been exhibited in various Canadian art galleries including Mckenzie and Curio.[4][5][6] Many collections of Embree’s work can be found at Saskatchewan Craft Council and the Hand Wave Gallery in Meacham’', Saskatchewan.[1]
