Sheri Osden Nault is a Two-Spirit Métis artist, Indigenous tattoo practitioner, community worker, and Assistant Professor in Studio Arts at the University of Western Ontario.

Their work spans mediums including sculpture, performance, installation, and more; integrating cultural, social, and experimental creative processes. They work through embodied connections between human and non-human beings, land-based relationships, and kinship sensibilities as an Indigenous Futurist framework. Methodologically, they prioritize tactile ways of knowing, and learning from more than human kin. Their research is grounded in their experiences and engages with decolonizing methodologies, queer theory, ecological theory, and intersectional and Indigenous feminisms. They are a tattooer, researcher, and organizer within the Indigenous tattoo revival movement in so-called Canada and they run the annual community project, Gifts for Two-Spirit Youth. They also operate the Melancholy Queers Club, thought this project has slowed down, for which they create and vend DIY shirts and zines.

Notable exhibitions and projects include World-builders, shapeshifters at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa; bringing to light what came from inside, as part of the Images Festival, Toronto, 2023; BEHOLD|EN, at the Art Gallery of Alberta; A Hard Birth, at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, 2022; Hononga at Hoea! Gallery in Aotearoa (New Zealand), 2021; Fix Your Hearts or Die, at the Art Gallery of Alberta; Off-Centre at the Dunlop Art Gallery, 2019; and Li Salay at the Art Gallery of Alberta, 2018.

Sheri currently lives and creates near the Deshkan Ziibing, on the lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lunaapéwak, and Chonnonton Nations, also known as ‘London, Ontario.’

They are colonially displaced Michif and nêhiyaw of the Charette, Bélanger, and Nault families with connections to the Red River, Duck Lake, North Battleford, and Rocky Mountain areas.
