About the Artist

Tansi! My name is JC, I'm a 20-something-year-old self taught beader with an education in Fine arts and Graphic Design. Born off-rez in Alberta, from Muskoday First Nation, SK, now living and practising in Montreal, QC.

Growing up with a passion for art included a lack of Indigenous representation. With my educational background, I hope to share Indigenous humour through both ornamental and practical art.

In April 2021, Tansi Maskwa was established with the intention of giving back to the Indigenous community of Turtle Island through donations.

Donations

Since 2021, we have donated over $1800!

As of 2023, 1% of net profits are donated to Indigenous individuals and organisations of Turtle Island.

From 2021–2022, the amount and frequency was never concrete and was often paid out-of-pocket
