Jessica believes that art is like language; it is a medium to express ideas and to share information. Art helps share thoughts, ideas and visions that may not be able to be articulated any other way. Art has a full range of expression. The process of creating art engages people mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Creative art pieces can provide a history lesson, a historical record, a preservation of culture. It will document events and experiences and will allow individuals a richer understanding of the Indigenous history. We need art to understand and to share our individual and shared history.
