A bout Connie Kulhavy

Connie Kulhavy is a renowned Métis artist who has sold over 900 hearts in just five years to places like the Royal Alberta Museum, the Bear Claw Gallery, The Strathcona Museum and Archive, and even the Smithsonian. Her work has been worn by notable figures such as Métis Elder Maria Campbell, writer Margaret Atwood, and CBC radio host Shelagh Rogers.

Connie's passion for sharing her Métis culture and history has led her to work as an artist in residence in schools and businesses, implementing Indigenous curriculum throughout the school district in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and working with various organizations and festivals throughout Alberta.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the best in the field and take home your own beautiful creation. Follow Connie on her Feel Good Medicines page on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram to stay updated on her latest work and events.
