Biography

Doris Hutton Auxier has practiced in Princeton, NJ; Chicago; and Tucson, AZ. She is committed to artist-run collectives and is part of such a gallery where she now lives in Fort Langley, BC. Auxier's paintings and drawings are represented in more than 50 private and public collections. Much of Auxier's work focuses on fragile and protected environments in western British Columbia. The Langley Bog and Colony Farm were the subject matter of a 2010 collaborative exhibition Transformation and Memory: Endangered Spaces at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. A 2009 exhibition centering on the Langley Bog, was presented by The Fort Gallery, The Pacific Parklands Foundation, Metro Vancouver, and the Derby Reach/Brae Island Parks Association. Another 2010 exhibition, Protected Spaces: New Myths again focused on the Langley Bog, which is by the Fraser River near Fort Langley. Work on the same theme of fragile environments was represented at the Fraser Valley Biennale 2011 at The Reach Gallery Museum in BC.
