Moonlit Herons

Murals
Stephanie Anderson Artist Bio

Mural: Moonlit Herons

Created: 2021

Location: Carters Jewellers

Address: 4646 Lakelse Avenue.


This mural is a contemporary piece depicting two herons in moonlight. The bright glow of the lightest aqua envisions the glow of the birds at night under a heavy moon. The colorful shapes and background all create a movement through the piece that wraps around the back of the building. This mural was made possible by the generous grant support of First Peoples Cultural Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Skeena Salmon Art Festival.

    I am from the Laksilyu “Small frog” clan, Kwen Beegh Yex “House beside the fire” of the Wet’suwet’en nation. I have been creating artistic works since a young age, and creativity has been the forefront theme of my life. I take care with my artwork to and try to achieve a fine finish as I complete them. I have taken many steps to better myself as a Wet’suwet’en woman and artist over the years including an active cultural participation and enrolling in fine arts programs. My strength comes from my T’so “Grandma” Violet Gellenbeck, who has worked in the Witset community for most of her life. She is a hereditary clan chief, has co-written historic non-fiction books on Wet’suwet’en history and culture, worked tirelessly to record verbal history handed down over time immemorial, and engaged our nation in the revival of our traditional language. She has the strength that runs through my veins, our community, and our mothers before her.
