Candace Campo, xets’emits’a, Shishalh chen.
My aspiration is to design, develop, promote and support the production of aboriginal art in a good way. Authentic aboriginal art is a priority in which I am committed to. We will collaborate, education and work together for the greater good as artists who produce art as a form of indigenous identity, spiritual purpose and within our unique cultural expression.
