About

Aniin/ Hello! My name is Ashley Seymour, I am Anishinaabe (Ojibway) from beautiful Manitoulin Island, Ontario. I am Bear Clan and my family is from the Unceded territory of Wikwemikong First Nation (Wiky) and M'Chigeeng First Nation.

My beadwork is inspired by my homelands, my journey, my healing, but more importantly, fun! I like to l incorporate natural materials that I have either hunted or harvested myself or that were gifted to me, but I also love to play with colour.

I am self taught and began beading in 2018. Though beadwork is my art I also consider it a form of therapy. 

I live in Victoria, British Columbia in Coast Salish territories with my fiancé and our puppy Nelson and we travel home to Anishinaabe and Mohawk territory as often as we can because family is everything!
