Artist Bio/Statement:

Handcrafted by Nangoonhs Kwe I have sought out various art forms throughout my life to satisfy the creative side of me. Beading has filled my creativity for the past number of years. I love that this medium allows me to create so many different objects. From keychains, to earrings, to bags, wallets, pop sockets and art pieces. If you can poke a needle through it, you can bead it! Nangoonhs Kwe is my Anishinaabe noozwin, the name bestowed upon me by an elder from my home territory of Wiikwemkoong. It translates to Star Woman. Though born and raised off the "rez" I find that beading helps connect me to my culture.
