Hilary Joy Rose

Hilary Joy Rose is a Secwépemc artist from Bonaparte First Nation, creating beadwork that blends cultural storytelling, land‑based memory, and contemporary design. Working in small batches, she focuses on clean colour palettes, intentional details, and slow‑made craftsmanship that honours the teachings passed through her family.

Her work includes floral beadwork, fringe earrings, flat‑stitch designs, and modern accessories that carry the textures and colours of Secwépemc territory. Each piece is created with care, reflecting connection to land, community, and the stories that shape her identity as an Indigenous artist and educator.

Hilary’s beadwork is rooted in authenticity, cultural integrity, and the joy of creating pieces that people can wear, gift, and carry every day.
