I am a visual artist, craftsperson and drummer/singer working as a cultural advisor in North Bay, Ontario.
My artwork mainly consists of Indigenous themes such as eagle feathers, ceremonies and healing. Past works have involved themes of our connection to nature and our relationship to the government.
Our mission is to foster connection, opportunity, and knowledge-sharing for those who create (Oshichikesiwuk). In doing so, we empower the voices of Mushkegowuk Cree to express the sacred connection between our people, water, land, and all our relations.
We envision a future where the voices of Omushkegowuk creators (Oshichikesiwuk) are empowered and valued, ensuring a legacy of harmony between culture and sustainability that resonates through generations connected to the James Bay Coast (Nanipek).
