Artist Bio: My name is Jacinda, I’m a settler-Indigenous Cree artist from Red Lake, Ontario. Creating art is a way to connect with the world around me, to the land, to people, to stories, and to the parts of myself that crave a connection to my culture. I’ve always loved art and its creation, the more time I spend with it, the more I have been able to find my style, meaning and purpose through it.

Artist Bio:I am a First Nations artist from the Six Nations Reserve. I am a Seneca and have been drawing all my life. I work mainly with pen but have been branching off into color for painting. I prefer acrylics and find them the best fit for me. My artwork is heavily set in dark themed imagery with the occasional abstract image/thought as well as landscapes. My work is very personal but engaging. It sparks a response.. you’ll either love it or hate it.
