ABOUT THE ARTIST
Deborah Ratt
"Born in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, a proud descendent of the Cree Nation. As a
young girl, she was fascinated by jewellery pieces created by her aunt and cousin. In 2010 she
founded her company CREE-ATIONS and for the past decade she has been busy creating earrings,
bracelets, necklaces, pendants and much more. She works with glass beads, semi-precious
stones, leather, and bone. Her research on the evolution of traditional Indigenous beadweaving
nourishes her creativity and desire to share these traditions with other women."
