Lisa Shepherd is a Métis Artist.
At the most basic level, Lisa creates and sells Métis beadwork and one-of-a-kind beaded items and garments.
But more than that, she is a knowledge carrier and she works to hold, share and revitalize her culture in a responsible way through educating people on Métis artwork and culture. The heart of her business is documenting her story, helping her people to be visible, and revitalizing the Métis culture in contemporary times.
“I am a Métis woman who knows that Art documents our story. I am an Artist who respects how our story touches our hearts, and how healing begins with our understanding. I am a lifegiver who gently acknowledges that this understanding is powerful.
The past, the present and the future reverberates along my thread.” ~Lisa Shepherd, Métis Artist
