At the Crossing
In 2021, a collaborative mural was added to the wall of Métis Crossing's new gathering pavilion, created by Stephen Gladue and myself. It was a real pleasure to work with Stephen and create beadwork to go with his painted mural. I have brought my three beaded works into scarves and tote bags, so that everyone can enjoy a part of the Crossing.
