My goal as an artist is to connect with other people through my creations, sharing a part of my spirit in each piece.
I hope that my work can inspire, comfort, or even empower individuals in a meaningful way, accompanying them on their journey.
I always dedicate care, attention, and mindfulness to each bead I put in my projects, ensuring that every detail reflects intention and passion.
Thank you sincerely for supporting me by visiting this space and appreciating the art I so lovingly bring to life.
Nin Kijâtai
I was born in Val-d’Or (Québec). My father is Anicinabe and my mother is a non-indigenous French Canadian. As a daughter of an indigenous residential school survivor, I was raised outside of my community (Lac Simon). I started reappropriating my culture as an Anicinabe in my adult life and started healing through beading in the beginning of 2025.
