Land Acknowledgemt & Inclusivity

I ( Shannon ) acknowledge and honor that I live, create and work in the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. My home and studios are situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised to Six Nations in 1784 that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River; yet, today, the Six Nations reside on less than five per cent of this unceded territory.

Myself and my brand stand in support of BIPOC, BLM, LGBTQ2SIA+ and the reconciliation for Indigenous communities locally and globally.

My wares and art are for everyone.
