WHO IS SUMMER?
A R T I S T
Berrytyance (Summer Tyance) or Anongkwe, is an Anishinaabekwe from Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek located in Northwestern Ontario. She grew up in Thunder Bay and was constantly being surrounded by scenic lakes, rivers, streams, trees, snow, and the changing of the seasons which inspire much of her art. She is a self-taught painter who sticks with acrylic, but is jumping readily into new mediums such as pastels, watercolour, and bead. Summer utilizes art as a way to connect with their rich Anishinaabe culture, to heal, and to express spirit.
