Read her bio below! ⬇️

“Shanelle St. Hilaire (she/they) is a Q***r, NonBinary Femme, from the Red River Métis beader, practicing in Treaty One Territory Winnipeg Manitoba. Her beadwork is contemporary, sleek, colourful and for all! Most of their work is woven using a beading loom; the imagery they often create is very geometric using circles to represent moons. Space imagery, such as the solar system and stars, has more recently made its way into their beadwork. They also use the traditional Ceinture Fléchée pattern and reinvent it to honour her Metis culture and community. In 2022 St. Hilaire began loom beading practice to make their own large-scale beaded Ceinture Fléchée which quickly blossomed into a deep love and obsession with beading and is now a part of her daily practice. They started this business as wearable art and expression of self and culture is very important to them.”

“My name is Jessica Raven, I am a Two-Spirit 33-year-old mother of 2. I’m an Indigenous artist from Brokenhead Ojibway First Nation, but I reside in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Treaty 1 Territory. I started my business Native Royalty in 2017 with just homemade T-shirts and handmade signs for rallies, events and pow wows we attended at the time. We’ve expanded over the years to a 3-person business; we make Indigenous beadwork, ribbon work and more. I started this business to bring Indigenous excellence to the forefront. Growing up I would slowly but surely watch my community suffer and not have a say in how they were treated so I wanted to start something that showed the beauty of Indigenous art as well as educate people on the injustices Indigenous peoples face here in Canada; and what better way to start that then through art and meaningful conversation. That’s why I started Native Royalty, I wanted to share Indigenous art and connect with my community in any way I knew how.”

Art was a way for me to process my grief and remember the beautiful memories I have of my family. My pieces since then have explored many experiences and themes that are important to me, such as beauty in nature, joy, Michif culture, q***rness, neurodivergence, mental health, and motherhood.”
