June Halliday

June is a Métis artisan who has been crafting her whole life (cross-stitch, embroidery, sewing, and beading). Initially self-taught, she was fortunate to have wonderful teachers and mentors along the way, which led into her passion for beadwork — a tradition that spans generations and many cultures. June creates beaded earrings using glass beads as a way to connect with her Métis culture and history. Her work celebrates Métis floral motifs as well more contemporary designs.
