Erica Rutherford — an artist, actor, filmmaker, farmer, teacher and writer — died Friday in Charlottetown.

Rutherford's remarkably multidisciplined career earned her membership of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited in hundreds of group and solo shows, and is in the collections of the Canada Council Art Bank, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Arts Council of Great Britain.
