My name is Holly Nakogee and I am artist based within my home community of Attawapiskat First Nation.
My joys in art include painting, beading and crafting traditional ribbon skirts and shirts.
Creativity runs within my family as both my parents along with most of my siblings actively create in mediums of drawing, painting, woodwork, and more.
I am also a proud mother to a 7 year old emerging artist as his own sketchbook collection has grown immensely the last few years.
Looking forward to an art filled future with him and my family!
