Cathy Elliott was a Mi'kmaq /Irish /Acadian down-Easter artist that resided in the Toronto area. As well as being an artist, she was learning Mi'kmaq. While making her jewelry, she used to learn a Mi'kmaq word for every piece she made. She loved working in the arts, her dogs, her home in the country and her partner very much. She enjoyed singing, acting, writing and composing. She lived an incredible life and that was reflected in her work.
