Karlee is a citizen of the Métis Nation of Alberta, and an Alberta-based artist, professor, psychologist, and founder of maskihkiy wellness. All of Karlee’s work centres around iyiniw (Indigenous) approaches to wellness and healing. Karlee is a self-taught artist who began painting with acrylics in 2015 as a form of personal therapy, which quickly evolved to works that support her ongoing learning and expression of her iyiniw cultures, languages, and teachings. Her visual art is typically acrylic and mixed media on canvas or natural materials, though she also practices traditional arts such as beadwork, drum making, and practical handiwork. Her art is currently on display in The Ledge Gallery at Arts Commons. You can follow her @miyotehiskwew.art on Instagram or miyotehiskwew art on Facebook.
