Presenter Information: Lynette La Fontaine (they/ them) is a Métis visual artist with roots in northern Saskatchewan, as well as the historic Métis community of the Red River settlement. They grew up on the traditional, unceded Dakelh territory of the Stella’ten and currently resides in the traditional territory of the Lekwungun (Tsarlip and W̱SÁNEĆ Nations). They are a citizen of the Métis Nation of British Columbia. Their work is grounded in traditional Métis art forms and is inspired by their connection to the land, heart, spirit, ancestors, and teachings from Elders and knowledge holders. With the intent to honour these connections, Lynette utilizes their preferred media of traditional and contemporary beadwork, hair tufting, white fish scales, mixed media, acrylic painting, and fabrics.
