Betty Albert. Indigenous Designer at International Textiles Ltd, Canada

Betty Albert

Betty Albert-Licenz was adopted and raised by French Canadian parents in Northern Ontario. She spent time on Vancouver Island where both of her interests in art and spirituality surfaced. During the next twenty years, she worked with pen and ink, and improved her artistic techniques. Circumstances eventually brought her back to her Native American father, discovering her birthright as a Cree. Betty then began an art business and her father called “Wabimeguil Art Studio” which distributes art throughout North America. Like many Cree people, dreams play an important part of her life and her work. She discovered that her dream people were faceless and this is evident in some of her work. Her art allows the viewer to experience tradition, action, and a deep spirituality. Her use of vibrant acrylic colours begs us to view creation in a new way. Through her painting, “Wabimeguil (White Feather),” she expresses not only her own growth in spirituality, but also encourages people to experience “The Peace” that she represents in her art. Betty lives with her husband together and together they operate an art gallery, printing facility, where they distribute and market the work of a variety of artists.

C.J Houle. Indigenous artist at International Textiles Ltd.

Cody James Houle

Cody James Houle (he/him) is an Anishinaabe/French artist based out of Brantford. Houle’s family ancestry are Anishinaabe from Saugeen First Nations. Houle was raised in the small military city of North Bay, Ontario. In his youth he was immersed in intergenerational trauma. His family had been disenfranchised, and his father, as a child, had been displaced by the Children’s Aid Society. As a result, his father suffered from a lifetime of substance abuse, and Houle grew up in an unsafe environment. Houle had to generate his own sense of security and survived through a deeply intimate connection to nature and a motivated desire to create something meaningful in this life.
