Geordie Shepherd (BFA Concordia University 1991; MFA University of New Mexico 2004) is a visual artist whose practice uses ceramic, drawing, and text to explore the narratives that speak to us, and the persistent blend of truth and fiction that binds us to our earthly continuum.

Geordie has exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Europe, participated in residencies at the Banff Arts Centre, received the Brucebo Canadian-Scandinavian Foundation Award (1995), and was selected for the 9e Biennale de Céramique (2000). He founded and ran the landscaping company "Shepherd Gardening," for many years, was the founding Administrative Director of Colart Collection and has worked as assistant to the artists Stephen Schofield and Yehouda Chaki. Currently, Geordie divides his time between his studio and teaching at the University of Western Ontario.
