The Prairie Webinar Series is proud to prioritize the expertise of artists working in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, promoting discussion with our provincial neighbours on various topics while sharing investment in prairie perspectives. The formula is simple: look forward to two 25-minute presentations from two artists sharing about their practice and their experience with a given discussion topic, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.

JOANNE BOLEN is a Saskatchewan-born artist who explores thoughts, emotions, and desires through a variety of materials and mediums. She developed a love for drawing in childhood and later studied art at the University of Saskatchewan, continuing her education through workshops and self-directed projects. Joanne’s work includes painting in acrylics and oils, as well as printmaking and textile arts. Her style, influenced by Fauvism and Expressionism, uses bold colors to evoke emotional responses.

JUSTIN SEIJI WADDELL is an artist and Associate Professor at the Alberta University of the Arts in Mohkinstsis. He is a board member of CARFAC National, Peripheral Review, C the Visual Art Foundation, the New Media Caucus, the Immigrant Council for Arts Innovation, and the Arts, Culture, and Education Committee (ACE) of the National Association of Japanese Canadians. In 2025, he will be an Artist in Residence with Studio Kura in Fukuoka, Japan, and he is currently an Artist in Residence with the Past Wrongs, Future Choices as a part of the Japanese Canadian Legacies Project and the Centre for Asia Pacific Initiatives at the University of Victoria.
