Hello everyone,
I was born in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I presently reside in Prince George, B.C.
I am a proud member of the Dzawada’enuxw ( Kingcome Inlet, Alert Bay and Gilford Island). Here I am with my mother Ella who was born in Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island situated just off the coast of Vancouver Island, very near the town of Campbell River, BC.
My interest in native art began in 2003 when we took my mother to her Indian Reserve on Guilford Island. It was on this amazing reserve that I met my Great Great Uncle Sam who was a Master Carver. I spent many hours with this amazing man and fell in love with the mid coast art style. Once I left the reserve I just knew that I wanted to be an artist!! From that experience I became a self taught artist and am very passionate about my own unique style of art. My passion is creating art in many forms which include painting with acrylics and oils on canvas, water colours and alcohol ink, pottery, beaded jewelry using semi-precious stones/glass beads, leather earrings and metal work using a plasma cutter with a variety of metals (stainless steel and aluminum)
I currently sit on the Board of Directors with the Prince George Community Arts Council, the Northern Indigenous Arts Council in Prince George BC and Arts BC
Thank you for expressing interest in my art work.
Sincerely,
Diane Levesque-Majewski
