About the Art
On Pattern:
"A color palette of the past, I say chi Miigwetch to my ancestors for leaving behind such artistry. You are the inspiration for my art. You have connected me with my identity, my people, my land, and just all of creation. My love for you all extends out to the universe."
On Beadwork:
"I didn't always love florals. I didn't learn to love them until I learned to love myself. Like poetry, beadwork is the ultimate Indigenous form of personal expression, so this work represents my love for the land, the medicines and plant life. Beadwork is special, it is healing, it is love."
