Cree Indigenous Art

Acrylic Art

My art reflects âtayôhkan ekwa okâwîmâwaskiy- spirit animals and Mother Earth. The thing that I love about my art is that everyone sees something different. Animals and places remind us of people, and I am happy that my art can create emotions and remembrance to others.  My pieces have movement and are meant to feel alive, just like the spirit animal reflected in each painting.

I like to work with vibrant colours, symbolizing cîpiyak nîmehitowak- the northern lights (spirits dancing in the sky). With my art, I hope to bring back the stories and language of my people that have been forgotten. Every relative tells a story and when I paint them, their stories come alive again.

Prints of my acrylic art are available for printing on nearly any material through my Redbubble shop, and I sell prints and cards at my shows and performances as well. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing some of my work. 

Other Art & Commission Work

Acrylic art isn’t all I do! I create beadwork, leatherwork, and multi-media work too! Additionally, I also offer traditional Indigenous beading courses, and programs including leather, mitts, moccasins and dream catcher courses.

If you are interested in a commission piece, or in arranging Indigenous art training sessions for a class, group, or event, please get in touch. I would love to share the art of my culture with you!

Mural Work

I have painted murals for Uplift Festival 2024, BUMP Mural Festival 2023 and 2022, UofC Faculty of Medicine, Arcadia Brewing,  and various schools across Alberta. If your school or organization is interested in a mural, please contact me.
