I am a Canadian-born artist of Mi’Kmaq Indigenous descent from the Metepenagiag Nation, Canada. My interdisciplinary art practice employs photography, sculpture, textiles and performance. I earned my MFA at the SUNY University at Buffalo (2019) and BFA in Craft and New Media at the Alberta College of Art and Design (2013).
I’m excited to be one of the nine selected artists from across Turtle Island (Canada) participating in Unmute Virtual Artist Residency! As part of this residency, I am sharing my quillwork process as a three-part series:
