Jess Sanderson-Barry of JShine Designs is a nêhiyaw-iskwêw, mother, full-time Cree Artist, Designer and Hide Tanner from Chakastaypasin Band, Treaty 6 Territory.  Jessica has created her wearable art under the name JShine Designs and is currently working out of Edmonton, Alberta.  Her art practice is influenced by her Cree roots, her lived experience and the land surrounding her. 

Jessica combines both traditional and contemporary beading styles into her art. Throughout her practice she utilizes elements from the land such as traditionally tanned hides, which she is reclaiming the practice and art of hide tanning.  Beading and working on hides has reawakened her spirit and she finds beading as a way to express herself by creating beautiful adornments for everyday wear. www.jshinedesigns.c
