Audrey Arsenault (Aud Metal) is a Mi’gmaq metalsmith from northern New Brunswick. Working primarily in copper, she specializes in the ancient techniques of chasing and repoussé, transforming sheet metal into sculptural low-relief forms. Her work explores the healing, resilience, and cultural reclamation of Indigenous women, often incorporating Mi’gmaq motifs and locally significant medicinal plants. Through her practice, Arsenault seeks to honour Indigenous stories while celebrating the enduring strength of community, culture, and language. Arsenault is a graduate of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and the University of New Brunswick. Her work is represented by Gallery on Queen and has been exhibited across Canada and is held in the collections of CollectionArtNB, UNB, and NBCCD.
