Northern Forget-Me-Not

Artist

Alisa Blake

Description

Inspired by the vibrant blue forget-me-nots that bloom across the northern landscape, Northern Forget-Me-Not celebrates memory, connection, and the beauty of summer in the Northwest Territories. The vivid blue petals and bright center reflect the colors of northern skies, wildflowers, and long days beneath the midnight sun.

Handcrafted with intricate beadwork, this piece honors Indigenous artistry and the enduring relationship between people, land, and season.
