We create custom design work based in the Ojibwe and woodland tradition that tells a story. We know the power of having beautiful art that also can teach. Featured here are a few of our projects. Please contact us to discuss your logo, custom projects, and other graphic needs.

Pollinator's Mural
"The Pollinators Mural celebrates the relationship between plants and pollinators. The powerful work Children's Dental Services provides reflects this system of care.
I signed the mural with syllabics saying Gizhawenimin or "you are loved" as Love is really the core value driving our community work. The love for our environment, justice, and each other."
When Native people are at the table we bring our perspective which is much broader and older than the short 160 years since logging hit our forests. This was a difficult but incredible process. We are really proud of this project. " -Giizh

Mount Royal Library Mural
Libraries are one of the great equalizers where everyone has access to stories. As an avid reader and library goer Heart Berry Artist Howes jumped at the chance to bring Ojibwe Art to the library “We grew up going to the library and have always brought our kids to the library. Stories are so powerful. They form our values, they reflect who we are, and the love that is transferred through storytelling is a deep bond”
