Join the cause and stand up against bullying with our Indigenous Pink Bear Shirt designed by a Canadian Indigenous Artist Jil-leesa George-Walker.

 

About the Design

“Bullying. Whether it’s from a child to a child, or among those in their adult years, it’s unkind. More often than not, it damages our sense of self. Creating a cause to have us question ourselves and our place within our home or work communities.”

“For these reasons, I chose to portray two bears within this design: a small one and a larger one. Firstly, to ground this day, the courage (like a bear!) it takes to step up against bullying.”

“The little bear represents that no matter the age, everyone has something in them, a little bit of themselves that is still being nurtured to grow. While the big bear represents those of us who have been able to have our chance to grow bigger and hone our abilities, who can step in and be a friend for those who don’t yet have that big voice or presence.”

“The colours of the larger bear and the wave-like pattern underneath are reminiscent of water, which I wanted to draw upon a sense of soothing and how water fuels new growth. Along with a simple flower. The little bear’s colour I chose to use green to symbolize new life sprouting, along with a gradient up into the large bear’s colours. Giving a hope that they too will be able to do the same one day.”

“Speaking up against bullying will help curb hurtful things. While the goal is to have it cease completely. That takes a whole community to support and foster the positive changes. Much akin to the many hands (or paws!) it takes. From that, inspiration was given to have behind the pair a gathering of bear paw prints in different sizes. We’re in this together after all.”

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.
