Authentic, West Coast, Indigenous Art: Fireweed Earrings

  • Designed by Shawna Kiesman

    Shawna Keisman is an emerging artist out of Victoria with education from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and the Banff Center of Art and Creativity. She makes digital art and animation as well as jewelry design. While working at the Meshki National Museum, Shawna learned more about Fireweed, which now are a main influence across her art.

  • The Fireweed Plant in Indigenous Art

    The fireweed plant and its flowers are known to propagate quickly after a forest fire—they are a welcome sight to many First Nations people in BC. Parts of the plant are eaten or made into tea. Other parts are used for skincare protection. The Yukon Territory has the fireweed as its floral emblem.
