I’m a Haida graphic artist and have been creating Haida art since 2012. At that time, I decided I needed to change the direction of my life. This is when I started learning about my family from Haida Gwaii. I researched Haida art and learned the basic forms. Then I started playing with designs and developed my own style. That style has evolved and continues to evolve the more I create new work. I have tried to stay true to the traditional Haida style and have for the most part, but I feel that to grow as an artist I must be open to change. As I continue on my new path, I try new things and learn more about tradition and this is reflected in my work. I’m mainly a self taught artist but I was also taught for a short time by George Hunt Jr. at S J Willis Secondary back in the early 1980’s. I hope you enjoy my designs and follow my journey of discovery in the world of Haida art.

Cultural Background: Cree
Betty Albert-Licenz was adopted and raised by French Canadian parents in Northern Ontario. She spent time on Vancouver Island where both of her interests in art and spirituality surfaced. During the next twenty years, she worked with pen and ink, and improved her artistic techniques.
Circumstances eventually brought her back to her Native American father, discovering her birthright as a Cree. Betty then began an art business with her father called “Wabimeguil Art Studio,” which distributes art throughout North America. Like many Cree people, dreams play an important part of her life and her work. She discovered that her dream people were faceless and this is evident in some of her work. Her art allows the viewer to experience tradition, action, and a deep spirituality. Her use of vibrant acrylic colors begs us to view creation in a new way. Through her painting, “Wabimeguil (White Feather),” she expresses not only her own growth in spirituality, but also encourages people to experience “The Peace,” that she represents in her art.
