As a descendant of white settlers, I am privileged to live and work on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Mississaugas of the Credit, and Huron-Wendat peoples—lands governed by the Toronto Purchase Treaty 13, the Two Row Wampum Treaty, and the Dish With One Spoon Treaty. I also acknowledge the unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.
With a spirit of inclusiveness, I am committed to peaceably sharing and caring for the resources surrounding the Great Lakes. My home studio is located in Etobicoke, known in Anishinaabemowin as Adobigo, meaning ‘the Place of the Alders,’ and I am deeply grateful to live and create here.
