Saskia Jetten is a contemporary fine artist and printmaker who gratefully resides in the swiya of the shíshálh Nation where she operates a printshop and artist studio. Continually exploring boundaries of printmaking with drawing at the base of it, Saskia has exhibited internationally and received numerous prizes and grants. She immigrated in 2012, mid-career, from the Netherlands to the Canadian West Coast to build upon her experience and skills, shake up, broaden and challenge her views and art practice. Saskia nourishes the roots from both worlds in her being. Her art work touches on themes related to theatre, identity, and interpersonal relationships. The print-based work balances between fine and applied arts and takes shape in traditional prints on paper, hand printed shawls and scarves to print-based installations and animation. A broad experience of over 30 years (international) teaching printmaking and fine art completes her practice.
