Artist Epiphany Couch Photo credit: Luiza Folegatti

Epiphany Couch (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist and writer whose work explores generational knowledge, storytelling, and our relationships with the natural and spiritual worlds. Working across photography, beadwork, weaving, and collage, she reinterprets traditional forms to create images, installations, and sculptural works that engage ancestral knowledge and invite new ways of understanding. Her practice is rooted in unconventional collaboration—across time, between generations, and with the natural world—recognizing these relationships as vital to sustaining memory, culture, and identity.

Couch is spuyaləpabš (Puyallup), Yakama, and Scandinavian/Mixed European, and grew up in caləłali (Tacoma, Washington). Her work has been acquired for public and private collections and exhibited in museums, galleries, and art fairs across the United States. Couch lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where she is a member of the artist-run gallery Carnation Contemporary, the Columbia Basin Basketry Guild, and the Cyme Collective.

Tacoma Art Museum is located on the homelands of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We recognize and honor the enduring Puyallup people and Coast Salish communities as we strive for a fuller understanding of the histories and currents of this place, and a more equitable future. Tacoma Art Museum is a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. EIN: 91-0697444.
