Dancin' For My Sisters Ledger Art print by Chippewa Cree Artist.

Kayla is an enrolled member of the Chippewa-Cree Tribe. She is a self-taught visual artist, specializing in ledger art but also creates skateboard decks, digital media, and other unique pieces. Her inspiration comes from life experiences, stories from Elders or historical references. Her works blend First-Nations elements, while including contemporary influences. The intention behind much of her work is start conversations, highlight diversity, including LGBTQ2S, illicit personal reflection and showcase Indigenous beauty.

"The inspiration for this piece comes from the MMIW epidemic I have also seen many red dress specials sponsored at Pow Wows to raise awareness for this very important issue. I want this piece to be a conversation starter. We need to continue to talk about this issue and seek out resources and support to end violence against indigenous people. "

The original was done on 1889 ledger paper with colored pencils, water color paints, and Copic markers.
