Born in Vancouver and a graduate of Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design and UVic Visual Arts, Angus Ferguson is an artist and educator. His work has been exhibited in the US and Canada. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Trapp Projects and Burrard Arts Foundation in Vancouver. He has received grants from the BC Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts and lives and works in Victoria BC located on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples.
