About

Tamara Deedman (b. 1991, Lacombe, Alberta) is an artist and educator based in Treaty 6 territory (Edmonton, Alberta). She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in 2015, and her Master of Fine Arts with a specialization in printmaking at the University of Alberta in 2025. 

Deedman’s practice is rooted in what she calls empathetic making; the transformative care of personal histories, inherited archives, their handwritten corresponding records, mental illness, coping mechanisms, grief and healing, and how it is embedded in our material worlds. When not working in the studio, Deedman embeds herself in non-profits and artist run centers, and is an advocate for creating safe and accessible spaces for communities who are looking to find wellness through the act of making. Her work includes printmaking, drawing, ceramics and installation, with a heavy emphasis in lithographic methods.
