Dreamcatcher: Grandmother's Web - David Bouchard

Cameron, Kristy: - Kristy Cameron, a teacher and visual artist, was born and raised in Atikokan, Ontario, the Canoe Capital of Canada. Being raised surrounded by the beauty of the natural world has given her endless subjects to paint, as she observes and researches this environment and its inner connections. As a Métis artist and descendant of numerous fur trade employees, she often incorporates Indigenous and historical content into her art. With this history and culture, we often see spiritual weavings throughout her pieces, which evoke sensations such as, mystery, energy and joyfulness. Viewers often contemplate saying, Every time I look at these paintings, I see something new! The bright, bold colours are templates for more intricate images that unfurl deeper meanings within meanings. nKristy's art can be found in private and public collections, such as, the Archives of Ontario, the Kenora Justice Centre, the Legislative Building, and various school boards and social agencies. She has collaborated with various authors to illustrate books and anthologies, which have been highly used by educators nationwide.n
