Monique Bedard (Aura) is a Haudenosaunee (Oneida)
artist who grew up in a small town in Southern Ontario.
She has been deeply and passionately involved in visual
arts for 13 years.
Bedard is inspired by storytelling and the healing journey,
individually and as a community. She combines painting,
drawing, beadwork and collage to examine stories that
are connected to the mind, body and spirit. She aims to
address the pain of intergenerational trauma as well as intergenerational healing to
communicate experiences from the inside out. By unearthing her own stories,
she is able to strengthen connections where the process creates awareness and
understanding; this experience is ultimately part of the healing journey.
