Brandy Wilson was born and raised in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, on the Mackenzie Delta. She grew up in a creative household where she discovered sewing at an early age. In 2005, Brandy earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Alberta College of Art and Design. The various surface design and fabric manipulation techniques she was taught, prompted her to create garments with her own designed fabric made from traditional and non-traditional materials.
She has previously shown her work at the Great Northern Art Festival in Inuvik, Northwest Territories and Art aWEARness in Calgary, Alberta. In 2001, she was selected to represent the North in the National Artist Program at the Canada Summer Games in London, Ontario.
In 2006, Brandy began exploring digital photographic media. Her inspiration is the foliage and vegetation in the Northwest Territories. Through this medium, she captures the intense colour and fine detail of small wildflowers, weeds and leaves, monumentalizing them for the viewer to examine.
Brandy has presented her work in Fort Simpson, Fort Smith and Yellowknife. In 2010, Brandy was one of ten artists selected to be part of the Artist Delegation to represent the Northwest Territories at the 2010 Olympics. Her work was exhibited at Canada's Northern House in Vancouver, British Columbia.
