About the Art & Artist

TICA is proud to feature the artwork of an American Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian artist whose work is featured on the Annual TICA Conference materials. We’re excited to introduce this year’s conference art, “My Ode’imin” by Micaela Gilbert, @artworkbymicaela (Anishinaabe from Sagkeeng First Nation).

Artist Biography

"Hello, my name is Micaela Gilbert. I am Anishinaabe from Sagkeeng First Nation, located on Treaty 1 Territory. I am a painter and digital artist. After graduating from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, I started to look for more freelance work and since then I have been creating for others and myself. The work I enjoy doing now is creating Ojibwe Florals working either digitally or with a traditional medium such as painting. This is how I felt connected to my culture and how I learned more about my culture through other artists’ work by the stories they tell."

Work Summary

“When I choose to make something it’s my way of expressing my interests and appreciation,” says Micaela. “I have been slowly learning about my Anishinaabe culture through art and it’s my best way of showing what I know. Ode’imin is the Anishinaabemowin word for a strawberry. However, it actually translates to Heart Berry.”
