Event Details

Jessie’s current body of work is inspired by the richness found in her ancestry. Specifically, she is interested in creating work that celebrates and combines Indigenous traditions and her lived experience as a status recognized First Nations woman in a modern world.

 Jessie’s exhibit at Kitchener’s Central Library Art Gallery has been scheduled to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday, and to aid in the understanding about Canada’s First Nations. As well, her work has been chosen for the Canada 150 Art Express’d project at the Winnipeg Art Gallery later this summer. canada150.wag.ca/
