Matika Lorraine Wilbur was born in 1984, to a Tulalip father and a Swinomish mother. She is a citizen the Tulalip and a descendant of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. Wilbur grew up predominantly on the Swinomish reservation in a family of commercial fishermen. She traveled to La Conner, Washington to attend high school. She graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography with a degree in advertising.
Her Native name is Tsa-Tsiq, meaning "She Who Teaches."
Before beginning her photography career, Wilbur worked as a fashion photographer in Los Angeles, but found the work unfulfilling. She also worked as a teacher at Tulalip Heritage High School.
Wilbur's three initial photographic projects include We Are One People, a photograph collection of Coast Salish elders; We Emerge, a photograph collection of Native people in contemporary settings, and Save the Indian and Kill the Man, a collection of Native youth expressing their identities. Her other work includes "iHuman", presenting images interwoven with cedar bark.
"All Alone" is a 2012 project that addresses the cultural assimilation of Native Americans between the 1880–1980.
"iHuman" is a 2013 cultural project that represents the cultural dualism that Native Americans live upon.
The artist specializes in hand-tinted, black-and-white silver gelatin prints.
