"For me art is a spiritual expression. My work is intended to be multisensory. The paintings are tactile and many times the paint is applied with my own fingers in order to help me connect on a deeper physical level. I often use other tools that help add dimension and depth to my art. My paintings are intended to be very visually stimulating.  It is important for me to incorporate elements of Indigenous beadwork to honour my First Nations and Metis women ancestors.  In my paintings I play with light, colour value,texture,

and movement.

 

This is accomplished by colour choice,

and beadwork, composition to create

movement. I honour the traditional

art forms of my women ancestors,

but I bring them into a

contemporary form. 

 

Sometimes

my paintings

will dance for

me because

they have been

designed to have

movement

and flow. 

I always find

that balance

and harmony

are key foundations

for my work.

 

Teachings of

the sacred circle

are central

elements in the

design of

all my

paintings.
