Her art focuses on language revitalization, land and water conservation, giving youth a voice and storytelling. She enjoys using vector adobe software so she can create png.files of her illustrations and characters to add onto her projects and make stickers or patches.

Alesha is exploring photography, Adobe InDesign and photoshop to create posters in the future. She aspires to create jobs in northern communities and facilitate artistic workshops and programs for youth to learn in a safe and inclusive space just as she did.
