Kayla Bridget Williams
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT OF THE MONTH
KayIa identifies as Inuk and Scottish from Goose Bay, Labrador. She is a proud mother with strong family ties in both Nunatsiavut and Nunatukavut from the coast of Labrador. She comes from generations of residential school survivors, and her family has worked hard to live through the harsh conditions of rural Labrador. She is very proud of her ancestors and family, having learned much of her crafting skills from her Grandmother, with whom she spends a lot of time. Kayla is a multi-media artist who creates artwork including paintings on canvas, digital artwork, as well as crafting mukluks and beadwork. One of her inspirations is her cousin, Delilah Saunders, whom she hopes to honor in her work and life. She is also inspired by her late great grandma Bridget, who was a strong Inuk woman that she looks to for strength and resilience.
Supporting Indigenous women and reflecting them in her artwork is a big part of Kayla's life. You can reach Kayla at @sandwichbaystudio or on her website at http://Sandwichbaystudio.com/
