Visual artist
Nolan is an artist and illustrator who has enjoyed creating things since childhood. A young Anishinaabe-kwe of Missanabie Cree First Nation, she was born and raised in Brampton. She travels to Missanabie Cree’s Traditional Land in Northern Ontario every summer to take part in Indigenous teachings and art creation during her band’s gathering.
Beginnings
Through the medium of art, I have delved into the significance of fostering a strong sense of community and establishing meaningful connections. Every brushstroke in ‘Beginnings’ represents the rich heritage and diversity that has shaped Brampton into the vibrant community it is today – my hometown.
