About the artist
OSAMUSKWASIS
Tansi my name is Osamuskwasis Roan which translates to "Yellow Bear" in nehiyawewin (plains cree language). I am from Pigeon Lake Alberta Canada, I am Nehiyaw and Tsuu T'ina also known as (Cree and Dene) I am an enrolled member of Ermineskin Cree Nation. Ever since i was a little girl I've always been interested in fashion and art. i was taught how to do beadwork by my Great Grandmother Sarah Meguinis my Grandmother Lily Anne Roan and my Mother Bear Roan. I've also had numerous aunties, uncles and mentors who inspired me in creating my own pieces of traditional artwork. My main focus around my art is the land, culture, and language. Being i am plains cree and tsuu t'ina the landscapes surrounding my tribes are the beautiful plains and mountains in Alberta I've always been inspired by nature. i always try to incorporate who i am and where i come from as an indigenous woman into my beadwork, sewing, paintings, digital art, photography, and makeup. i hope you enjoy and find a connection to culture through my artwork the way i did.
