Healing Miskwaadesi Demo with Artist Brenda Montgomery

Friday, May 12th, 1pm – 4pm, 

Scugog Arts Space – 175 Queen St, Port Perry – FREE

The name Miskwaadesis is Ojibwa for painted turtles. Watch Brenda Montgomery create her beautiful Healing Miskwaadesi’s. 

Brenda’s work draws from the indigenous teachings and stories she received as a child, and her recent discovery of her first nations background. She works with colour palettes that are inspired from the ocean and river beds, as well as other colours and patterns found in nature.

Her turtles incorporate different aspects of the beautiful living earth into each of them. After each turtle is finished being crafted and carefully painted, they are smudged and offered reiki healing to empower them with healing energy. 

Come watch Brenda at work!
