Celebrating Milestones

The Peavine Metis Settlement in northern Alberta approached me to assist in creating a unique and culturally significant gift that would honour their culture and connection to the land. After collaborating on a few ideas, we crafted this relief sculpture using clay, acrylic paint, the iconic Metis sash, and reclaimed wood from buildings across Alberta. This piece was presented to Ken Wilson, Minister of Indigenous Relations, during a celebration commemorating the 84th Anniversary of the Peavine Metis Settlement.

Visual Storytelling

The Metis General Council commissioned me to create a collection of eight shadow boxes as gifts for each of the eight Metis settlements in Alberta. Each shadow box features a unique storyboard that celebrates the culture, land, and wildlife that are significant to their respective communities. Through the art of visual storytelling, I sculpted miniatures of wildlife, plants, lakes, landscapes, and community activities, capturing the essence of each settlement. Additionally, I incorporated the Metis flag and sash and the individual logos of each settlement, adding a touch of personalization and identity.

Giving Back

As an artist collaborating with Benoit Wellness Consulting and The Front-Line Resiliency Project, I actively contributed to raising vital funds in support of Mental Health.

I showcased my work and painted live at various events, contributing the paintings to the silent auction. I painted “God Spelled Backward” during their golf tournament and contributed “Ebony” to their Silent Auction. The organizers commissioned me to paint "A Bond for Life" for a special awards ceremony. We carefully framed prints of the artwork, which were then presented to deserving individuals during a celebratory gala. This special occasion aimed to recognize and honour the invaluable work carried out by first responders in our community.
