Business Description

Lisa Shepherd is a celebrated artist and highly respected cultural ambassador and knowledge carrier for the Métis Nation, evidenced by the growth of her artist business, vast number of communities she has empowered through workshop facilitation, number of youth she has mentored, and by the acquisition of her culturally inspired art displayed across the nation and internationally. Lisa has employed her skill in interpreting contemporary Métis perspectives and ancestral histories into artistic works to create space for Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities to learn about Métis culture. In doing so, she has revitalized culture and increased the visibility of Métis people in British Columbia (BC) and across the homeland.
