Tashina Makokis is a nehiyaw two-spirit artist from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation. Trained in the fine arts at the University of Alberta and taught beading and sewing from her aunties, their work is an eclectic mix of original paintings, illustrations, multimedia art, prints, zines, postcards, and wearable art such as bead work, hand-painted jewelry and pouches, upcycled clothing, and hand-painted denim jackets. A lot of her own personal research and work has centered on female Indigenous sexuality and the reclamation of their bodies and lives. All work is designed and made by the artist while they recover from a severe traumatic brain injury.
