About the Design

Two Spirt artist Jil-leesa George-Walkers design inspires us to journey towards reconciliation. From Jileesa’s own words:

” I created this design with the vision of togetherness. The circle of sweetgrass is to represent a feeling of peace, of hope and healing, its sweet soft fragrance a reminder of the kindness and intention that this day is to bring. Brought into the shape of a circle to tell of how we are all connected and interwoven.”

“With the addition of everyday things like birds and clouds to aid in keeping a sense that in all we do, everyday is a chance to practice the values of forgiveness and strive for self betterment.We give honor to the lost generations. To remember the past as we soar forward, to help create a place for broken circles to begin to heal. This is a single day the world slows down and feels; a day we’ve all learned to open our eyes and hearts to.”

“Reaching up, standing up, for those still here and those who are no longer, how we will stand against the injustice done in the shadows. National Day for Truth and Reconciliation may have many different words. Its core message is the same.”

Description

About the Artist

Jil-Leesa GW is a graphic design artist based out of Sarnia, Ontario. A member of Aamjiwnaang First Nations located along the banks of the St Clair River and proudly counts herself among the Deer Clan.

From an early age, she discovered that creative outlets form a link between the artist and the viewer that couldn’t be expressed through words. This fueled her and became part of her inspiration. Through her works, she seeks to convey inner strength, the beauty of the natural world, and the subtle but powerful importance of connection in our daily lives. She hopes that her work will bring joy, foster community in those around her, and that in doing so, bring herself and others to new heights of self-expression.

Her artistic career has been rife with difficulty, which she has sought to persevere and grow from. As a self-taught artist, she has spent much of her free time researching different mediums and finding her niche in the art community. Aside from traditional paper and pencil, her preferred medium is digital art, and she utilizes a range of programs to harness inspiration and bring the soul of the art to life. Counted among her achievements is the Orange Shirt Day design ‘Unity‘ featured within TD Bank’s archives for the year 21’

When not making digital art, Jil-Leesa’s hobbies include taking long walks with her dog, beading earrings, drinking coffee, spending quality time with friends and family, and enjoying whatever day the world sees fit to throw at her.

What Our Clients Say

“When the Langley Senior Resource Society needed new tents for our community outreach activities, we reached out to Leading Edge. They have a good reputation of supporting community organizations and initiatives. Our rep, Suzanne, quickly pulled together options and pricing that suited our need and budget. We are thrilled with our bright orange tents as they really stand out at community events. We’ve received lots of compliments already from both our volunteers, members and the general public too.”

–  Kate Ludlam, Executive Director
