Kristen McKay

Kristen was born in Prince Rupert in 1979. Her family is from Lax Kw’alaams. While living in Victoria, she was influenced by the culture and teachings of the Coast Salish people. These experiences inspired her to return to Tsimshian territory to learn about the history, stories and culture. In 2013 Kristen moved to the North to attend, and later graduate from the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art. Since graduation, she has continued to live, work and create in the north. Kristen looks forward to producing more art pieces in the future and sharing the experiences and teachings with future generations.”
