Tansi/Hello

I’m Echo (she/her) the artist behind Neepin Moon beadwork. I’m a two-spirit cree woman originally from Treaty 1 Territory but I’ve made my home here in Treaty 6 Territory. I started teaching myself beadwork in 2016 to help myself reconnect and overcome the grief of losing my mother. Beadwork to me is like medicine, it helps me stay calm, connected and teaches me patience.

Being able to feel creative and bring pieces I’ve dreamed of or imagined to life is such a beautiful experience. I look forward to creating more Indigenous art to share with the community.
