I’m incredibly honoured and grateful to share that I’ve been selected as a recipient of the Seven Teachings: Truth Award at the 2026 Okimâw Awards!
As a First Nations artist, my journey has always been about honouring our ancestors, celebrating our culture, and sharing our stories through art. To receive this recognition is truly meaningful, and I’m humbled to be recognized alongside so many inspiring individuals making a difference in our communities.
A heartfelt thank you to the organizers of the Okimâw Awards and everyone who has supported me throughout my artistic journey. Your encouragement and kindness mean more than words can express!

It was a pleasure to share my work alongside Greg Hoosier at our two day fine art exhibit, presented by YEGARTNOW at ArtsHub Ortona, Edmonton.
Thank you to everyone who came out to see the paintings, spend time with us, and support the show. I appreciated the conversations, the familiar faces, and the chance to meet so many new people. Seeing you connect with the work made the weekend truly meaningful.
I’m grateful to Greg for sharing this experience with me, and to everyone who helped make the exhibit possible. Thank you for being part of it!
