For as long as I can remember, my family has loved to create. Being a daughter of a Métis father and Black Sea German mother, I am a blend of two worlds, the prairies and seas woven together. I grew up with two talented seamstresses, and the matriarchs of my family passed down old knowledge of craftsmanship and design from generation to generation. As a mother of two girls, I have encouraged them to nourish the creativity inside them and have taught them, hoping to meld the craft of all my grandmothers. My daughters have turned out to be just as artsy and crafty as the generations before them. Like myself they are a blend of cultures and proudly belong to the Ermineskin Cree Nation. They will occasionally be selling their creations here as well. I’m excited to share our designs with you!
I love taking elements of the past and bringing them into the present. My designs pull details of my ancestors' cultures into unique and eclectic handmade pieces.
I am a registered citizen of the Métis Nation of British Columbia.
I live and work in East Vancouver on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the Coast Salish, Qayqayt, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), Stz’uminus, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm land.
