Christine offers: "My name is Christine Gautreau, I am from Nunatsiavut. I learned my skills by trying to reconnect to my culture by immersing myself in cultural materials. I had made jewellery for years but have reached out to other Indigenous artists for guidance and recently began using more natural materials such as sealskin, leather and sinew to complete projects."
Inuujaq Leslie Fredlund is an Inuk artist from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. The former sole proprietor and founder of "Maybe Somewhere" has taken a break from entrepreneurship to study at NSCAD University in Kjipuktuk for her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Inuujaq is a multidisciplinary artist who enjoys sewing, beading, sculpture, and jewelry making.
Creating With Community is a Treaty Space Gallery initiative funded by Indigenous Youth Roots.
