Creator of the Month: Shyanne Steele (Okanagan Sylix)
We were overjoyed to host our April Artist of the Month - The Incredible Shyanne Steele!
For those who joined us after the Fremont Market on Sunday, April 26th, to meet this talented multimedia storyteller, poet and cultural artist. Thank you! From publishing in Foglifter Press to performing at the Seattle Women's March and the Indigenous Futurists Festival, Shyanne's work was a powerful reflection of her heritage and personal journey.
We were honored to celebrate the stories woven into her creations. So thank you for stopping by to say hello, support local artists, and buy Native!
About the Shyanne Steele:
Shyanne is a syilx storyteller who grew up tagging along with her grandparents as they visited everyone from Omak, WA to Vernon, BC. As an adult, she left the Colville Reservation to begin her journey to become the President of the United States, before realizing the sheer volume of moral compromise necessary for the job. Today, she teaches and writes poems that she forces her roommate (who really is just a friend) and their two cats to listen to in Seattle, WA.
