Biography

Doris Hutton Auxier is associate professor of art at Trinity Western University in British Columbia where she teaches drawing and painting. Her paintings and drawings are represented in more than 30 public and private collections.

Auxier’s work deals with the dignity and banality found in everyday objects. One critic has said of her work, “Auxier unravels the surfaces of the material world to take the viewer into the energy and the life beyond the natural.”

Auxier is associated with the community based art collective, The Fort Gallery in Fort Langley, British Columbia. Her work was selected for The Next Generation: Contemporary Expressions of Faith at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York, and included in a book based on this exhibit. Recently, her art was chosen for the show Highly Favored: Contemporary Images of the Virgin Mary at Gordon College in Massachusetts.
