A tiny painting of Nuliajuk I was working on in 2020. I lost it when everything got shut down during lockdown. I didn't realize this would be my last time china painting. #ChinaPainting #Nuliajuk #Sedna #PorcelainPainting #IndigenousCreatives

My essay “The Silent Madness of Whales” was published last year on About Place Journal. “When I was a little girl, I liked to walk down to the landwash to see the bodies of pothead whales.

The beginnings of a miniature painting of Nuliajuk I began on this date in 2020. It was my last time in the porcelain painting studio because of COVID lockdowns. I never got this back and didn’t get to complete it. I miss china painting. #ChinaPainting #PorcelainPainting #ArtistsOnMastodon #IndigenousCreatives #Sedna #Nuliajuk

Last year I was a featured artist for a project called The Beasting. Southwestern Ontario artists collaborated to make exquisite corpse artwork. My contribution was inspired by the Inuit creation story of Nuliajuk/Sedna. https://www.thebeasting.ca/pages/shantell-powell #ExquisiteCorpse #IndigenousCreatives #ArtistsOnMastodon #Indigedon #InuitArt #Nuliajuk #Sedna #InkDrawing
