N i c o l s o n b. 1969, Comox, British Columbia As a member of a new generation of artists, the work of Marianne Nicolson is contributing to a redefinition of First Nations community identity and memory. A photography major at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (B.F.A. 1991), in 1997, she began a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Victoria. While residing at her home village near Kingcome Inlet, Nicolson directed a children's cultural arts programme, and from 1994-97 was administrator for the Nun'wa'kola Cultural Society. She has produced illustration work, notably covers for the National Film Board (of Canada) film Hands of History, by Loretta Todd, and Lee Maracle's book Ravensong, in addition to Harbour Magazine and the Capilano Review. She has received scholarships from the Canadian Native Arts Foundation and the British Columbia Arts Council.
