b. 1946, Rama Reserve, Ontario
First Nations Affiliation: Ojibwa

Matoush received training at the Elliot Lake School of Fine Arts (1965), the University of Alberta, and at the Guilde Graphique de Montréal (1976-80). Although she works in sculpture and printmaking, Matoush is known best for her vivid and abstract paintings which address specific, often political themes. A recipient of the Québec Cultural Affairs honour, Matoush recently completed a mural commission for the school building of the award-winning Cree village Oujé-Bougamou in Northern Québec.
