Bri Vermeer is an artist and Ontario Certified Teacher from central Ontario now calling northern Ontario, Canada home.

Currently, they are completing a Bachelor of Arts degree with an Honours Specialization in History at Nipissing University in North Bay, ON which is on the territory of Nbisiing Anishinaabeg, on lands protected by the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850. At this time, they're also taking a minor in Geography, and completing a certificate in the Study of Societies in Transition: Reciprocity, Relationship, and Reconciliation Histories, and in Geomatics. They are expected to finish this degree in 2026.

Bri recently graduated from the Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University, qualified to teach in the Intermediate and Senior Divisions with teachable subject areas including Visual Arts and History. Bri was the recipient of a convocation award in June 2024.

At present, Bri has been creating small- to mid-scale watercolour paintings, plasticine artworks, and graphic design (including but not in any means limited to custom apparel designs; teacher organization tools; classroom media and slide presentations; or student worksheets, assignments, and notes).

Bri attended OCAD University in Toronto, ON (Mississaugas of the Credit, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat – Dish With One Spoon Wampum, Treaty 13) from 2014-2021 and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. 

They majored in Drawing & Painting and completed a minor in Printmaking. Bri's work has been included in several group exhibitions from Toronto, ON to Montréal, QC. Their works are held in private collections in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Bri's work has focused on the intersections of memory, disability, family textiles, and movement through both the built and natural environment. She has happily oscillated between the intuitive process of creating large scale oil paintings, and intimate and methodical process of printmaking.
