Jasper Berehulke (he/they) is a transgender, two-spirit Syilx Okanagan and Ukrainian artist based on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ lands. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of British Columbia in 2024, receiving the Beau Dick and Ellen Neel Award. He works full-time at the Museum of Vancouver as Manager of Community Engagement and Indigenous Programs while maintaining an active art practice.

Jasper’s work spans oil painting, illustration, and media art, exploring themes of identity, representation, and cultural reclamation. His practice blends manga-inspired contrasts with colors drawn from the land, producing work that is inviting, evolving, and deeply personal. Through his art, he reflects on his experiences as a trans and two-spirit person, while engaging with heritage, culture, and community.

With a father who was part of the 60s scoop and a mother who is a third-generation immigrant, culture reclamation has been central to Jasper’s life. From language, food, dance, and music to clothing and art-making, these experiences continue to shape his creative practice.

He has exhibited at the Bill Reid Gallery, PoMo Arts, NorthVanArts, and the SUM Gallery, participated in artist residencies in Vancouver and Toronto, served on artist and grant selection panels, and chaired the board at the James Black Gallery. Jasper’s work bridges personal narrative with collective storytelling, fostering visibility, dialogue, and creative exploration across communities.
