I am Sherry Mercredi, a Fort McMurray-based beadwork artist passionate about creating intricately designed earrings. My journey into beadwork started through local workshops three years ago, sparking a profound connection to my Dene heritage.
Beadwork, beyond being an art form, is my source of calm and a means of rediscovering cultural roots. Despite not growing up with cultural ties, beading has become a significant part of my identity.
Specializing in earrings, I am expanding my artistic repertoire to include moccasins and ribbon skirts. Beyond crafting, I am committed to sharing my expertise through workshops, fostering a community of learners, and preserving the rich tradition of beadwork.
This artistic journey has allowed me to refine my skills and build connections with remarkable individuals. Join me in exploring identity and culture through the intricate world of beadwork, where each piece is a testament to my passion for the art and a celebration of Dene heritage.
