Lisa Berry is a Métis artist who grew up in Grande Prairie, Alberta, on Treaty 8 territory and now lives in British Columbia's Fraser Valley. A member of Métis Nation British Columbia, she traces her Métis ancestry to the Red River Métis.
Berry loved art from an early age and always hoped to become an artist. While raising her children, she built a photography business that she ran for 15 years.
She eventually returned to creating art herself, and that return became closely connected with another journey: reconnecting with her Métis culture.
Flowers, women and Métis cultural imagery now sit at the centre of her work.
Elaborate floral beadwork became so closely associated with Métis makers that the Métis were historically known as the “Flower Beadwork People.” Berry brings that tradition into contemporary illustration, using the flowers, leaves and flowing stems of Métis beadwork in bright compositions centered on identity, resilience and connection.
In Shine On, a woman stands among flowers, with the same floral forms appearing on her clothing. She is not simply surrounded by them; they become part of how she is represented.
For an artist whose own journey has involved reconnecting with and taking pride in her Métis heritage, Shine On can also be read as something personal: culture not simply inherited, but consciously reclaimed and celebrated.
