Darien Bardy is the artist behind Beads In The Trap. She is Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Turtle Clan and part of the Six Nations of the Grand River.

Since 2017 she’s been handcrafting modern beaded jewelry and accessories inspired by traditional Haudenosaunee beadwork and other forms and styles of Indigenous artistry. Her style is influenced by her perspective as an urban Indigenous woman on her journey of cultural reclamation and reconnection. Her beadwork represents good medicine, modern Indigenous fashion, and cultural revitalization.

Mikaila Stevens is a beadwork artist and designer currently based in London, Ontario. Through Mikaila’s journey of connecting deeper to her Mi’kmaq heritage and healing through art, she creates expressive and personal works combining her background in textile design, printmaking, and passion for beading.

Through vibrant colour schemes and conceptual design inspired by natural landscapes, the beauty of our planet, and everything beyond, Mikaila launched Flourish and Grow in 2019 where she creates one-of-a-kind contemporary style beaded accessories, artwork, and apparel.

Flourish and Grow is Mikaila’s creative outlet but more importantly her way of connecting to those with stories like her own in a world that often feels overwhelmingly alienating.
