Charlottetown, 2008), the first Prince Edward Island artist to be featured at the prestigious Venice Biennale.
Rutherford’s work explores themes of persona and gender, home and landscape, and her life was shaped by the search for identity and community. The exhibition includes over 100 works, accompanied by memorabilia and photographs. The exhibition opens to the public on November 21, 2025.
