Northern Lady's Slipper

Artist

Alisa Blake

Description

Inspired by the delicate beauty of northern wildflowers, Northern Lady's Slipper celebrates the arrival of spring and the renewal of the land after a long winter. Hand-beaded on white deer hide, the design captures the elegance and resilience of one of the North's most treasured blooms.

Rooted in Indigenous artistry and a deep connection to place, this piece honours the beauty, strength, and abundance found throughout the Northwest Territories.
