Shirley Wiebe is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist based in Vancouver BC. Born and raised in a rural Saskatchewan farming community, Shirley's work is informed by a strong childhood bond with the prairie landscape. Her installation and sculptural work explores relationships between physical geography and the built environment, with a particular interest in site-specific and project-based work.

Wiebe has participated in a number of international art residencies as an opportunity to initiate projects and new bodies of work with materials she discovers there. She has created site-specific installations in national public art galleries and sculpture parks throughout the Pacific Northwest.
