Oliva's: Indigenous Art for Everyday

Hello everyone, my name is Natalie, and I am a Toronto based artist. I focus my art in making handmade jewelry, moccasins, dream catchers and other leather work. My work comes from inspiration I find in my heart, culture and experiences. I am of Indigenous Canadian (Ojibwe) and Peruvian background. A lot of my work will show or have meaning connected to my backgrounds.

I learned how to bead, and hand make moccasins through traditional teachings. Those teachings I carry with me and continue to practice through my art. The jewelry and moccasins I make, are all made to be worn by anyone who appreciates them.

Anyone looking to support Indigenous art and respect the tradition's Indigenous people have been practicing for centuries are appreciated.
