MY WORK, MY VISION
A Journey Begins
As an Artist I am passionate about my work. I have learned the importance of paying attention to the story that each image reveals. I am a Survivor, Mother, Sister, Aunty, Grandmother, Warrior & most importantly a Spirit Holder. I am a member of the Mosakahiken Nation, from Manitoba.” A 60s Scoop Survivor” as some people like to say, but I am human, Kindness is important to me… We all breathe and feel our surroundings. My paintings are a part of me & I want You to be a part of my journey. When I was born, it was a hard era, people scared, hurt & lots of secrets.
I would like to share some words that I learned when I came back home to Canada
Aaniin… is Ojibwe “I See Your light” an expression of saying “Hello”
Tansi… is Cree word “How are you? “an expression of “Hello”
Motivated and committed to my craft, I’m capable of transforming an idea into a creative production that leaves an impact on the audience. Contact me if you have a project in mind.
