To May 4 Jamie Gentry: Blossoming. This solo exhibition spotlights the work of thisKwakwaka’wakw artist based on Vancouver Island, whose practice is rooted in patience, precision and deep personal meaning. On view is a striking series of moccasins, each entirely handmade and adorned with intricate, lifelike floral beadwork that reflects both technical mastery and reverence for the natural world. For more than 12 years, Jamie has created moccasins by hand, often collaborating with clients through highly customized beadwork. In this exhibition, however, she turns inward, creating solely for herself rather than for sale. These works mark a powerful shift in her practice: a journey of self-discovery and self-growth.
