Marie Watt (b. 1967, lives and works in Portland, OR) is a member of the Seneca Nation of Indians
(Turtle Clan) and also has German-Scot ancestry. Her interdisciplinary work draws from history, biog
raphy, Haudenosaunee protofeminism, and Indigenous teachings; in it she explores the intersection
of history, community, and storytelling. Through collaborative actions, she instigates multigenera
tional and cross-disciplinary conversations that might create a lens for understanding connected
ness to place, one another, and the universe.

Watt‘s work was featured at the Chazen Museum in 2021 in the group exhibition Companion Species.
She has also recently exhibited at the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, TX; The Mackenzie Art Gallery,
Saskatchewan, Canada; Stelo Arts, Oregon; The Buffalo History Museum, New York; and Whitney
Museum of American Art, New York. Watt’s work is held in many public collections, including the
Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville,
Arkansas; Denver Art Museum, Colorado; Cantor Arts Center, Stanford, California; Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York; and National Museum of the American Indian, Washington, D.C. Watt
holds an MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University, Connecticut, as well as degrees from
Willamette University, Oregon, and the Institute of American Indian Arts, New Mexico.
