multidisciplinary artist
Deb Malcolm is a member of the Manitoba Métis Federation who lives in Ontario. After finding her maternal birth family, she began a search to discover a way to connect with her culture, eventually finding dot art, which mimics beading. She taught herself to paint in this manner and so along with educating herself, she developed a way to connect with her past.
My paintings are a journey to help me connect to my maternal heritage. By referencing historical Métis beadwork images, I am able to produce paintings inspired by that beadwork and and interpret them in my own style.
