“I have always felt that my art flows from my unconscious to my waking mind. It is like I am being guided by my ancestors. Ancient images seem to find their way into my work and connect me to a spiritual place.” – Jessica Desmoulin
“For generations our artwork has been passed down. From the work of our Grandmothers and Grandfathers images have been imprinted onto our DNA. Our art and our cultural values help us, as a people, stay grounded.” – Laird Goulet
“As a Nehiyaw - Four Directions person - or Cree artist, I’m so grateful that my art process involves Four sacred elements: Earth, Water, Air (Spirit) and Fire and is handed down from my ancestors.” - Dianne Meili
