Lara Felsing is an interdisciplinary Métis artist from Northern Alberta, Canada, and a registered member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Her practice explores kinship to the natural world and advocates for the necessity of living in reciprocity with the land and all living beings. Traditional plant harvesting is at the core of Lara’s practice, and she gathers roots, leaves, berries, petals, and pine needles to create compostable paintings, weavings, clothing, and blankets that speak to the necessity of honouring and showing gratitude for Mother Earth's gifts. Lara has an MFA from Emily Carr University. She has exhibited internationally and attended residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts.
