Sherry Crawford

Sherry is from the Kijicho-Manito Madaouskarini Algonquin Nation in Bancroft, Ontario, picking up the pieces of her culture over the past 25 years. She believes through art, we can connect all people. Seeing art, creating art or both, she considers it a healing process and unique to each person. Sherry enjoys painting with Acrylic on Canvas, Digital Paintings, Oil, Pencil and Crafting. She has always enjoyed the creative process and will always take on a new challenge if it is an art form. Sherry shares an important teaching about her communities, pre-contact and after. It is done with "stones", representing our beautiful people . It is about the effects of residential school in a very respectful and powerful way. She also shares a "talking stick" workshop and it's a great tool to learn respectful communication and be creative.
