b. 1957, Regina, Saskatchewan
First Nations Affiliation: Plains Cree

After completing a B.F.A. at the University of Calgary in 1980, Lauren Wuttunee went on to study law at the University of British Columbia, graduating in 1989. That same year she also completed a master's degree at the Instituto Allende in Mexico. Her work following that period drew frequently from the form of religious triptychs and 'ex-uobo' devotional images, and often contained 'Fred, the coyote,' inspired by the abundance of stray dogs roaming the Mexican streets. She won first prize, in 1989, at the Indian Arts and Crafts Society Annual Juried Exhibition.
