A member of the Blue Heron Clan, she grew up in Northern Ontario and is now based in Sault Ste.

Strong outlines and saturated colour give the images immediate clarity, while symmetry and repetition often organize complex natural forms into balanced compositions. \u003cbr\u003eIndoe describes creating art as both a way of bringing joy to others and a source of happiness in her own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e \u003csmall class=\"right\"\u003e+\u003c\/small\u003e Behind the Artwork\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eIn Anishinaabe traditions, butterflies are associated with transformation, joy and spiritual presence. Their metamorphosis makes them a natural symbol of change, while some Anishinaabe teachings also connect butterflies with the spirits of those who have passed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe monarch adds another layer through its extraordinary migration. Most monarchs live only a few weeks, but the final generation of summer can live for many months and travel thousands of kilometres south to central Mexico. These butterflies have never made the journey before, yet they return to the same overwintering region used by generations before them. The following spring, the journey north unfolds across several new generations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Marissa Indoe, the symbolism of the monarch butterfly has a personal resonance. Chronic health issues forced her to leave college and ultimately changed the direction of her life, leading her toward art as a full-time path. \u003cbr\u003eShe has often spoken about art as a source of healing and happiness through difficult periods in her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e \u003csmall class=\"right\"\u003e+\u003c\/small\u003e Product Details \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Monarch Butterfly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eMarissa Indoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAffiliation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Chapleau Ojibwe First Nation, Anishinaabe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e 5\" W × 7\" H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e80 lined pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Elastic band\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBookmark:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eRibbon bookmark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eArtist photograph and biography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoyalties:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eArtist receives royalties from sales of this product\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e \u003csmall class=\"right\"\u003e+\u003c\/small\u003e Shipping Options \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eGround shipping in USA and Canada: US$12.95 \u003cbr\u003eFaster services and international shipping calculated at checkout.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e \u003csmall class=\"right\"\u003e+\u003c\/small\u003e Returns \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eIf you’re not happy with the item you received you may return it within 2 weeks after delivery.
