Slow Art Sunday - Belcourt

In recognition of National Indigenous Peoples Day June 21st, Slow Art Sunday, would like to introduce you to Metis artist, Christi Belcourt.  Ms. Belcourt, who was born in Ontario, is known for her vibrant and intricate paintings based on First Nation beadwork traditions.  Her artwork is inspired by both the natural world and her cultural heritage, and she uses her art as a medium to raise awareness about the importance of preserving Indigenous culture.

 

Besides her beautifully detailed acrylic paintings, she has created stained glass art, one of which hangs on Parliament Hill directly above the Members’ entrance.  Through her art, Christi Belcourt continues to make a significant impact, promoting Indigenous representation, cultural preservation, and social change.
