Paityn is a two-spirit illustrator with ancestral roots in both Métis and Cree bands. They grew up in Treaty No. 1 (Winnipeg, MB) and are currently living in Treaty No.7 (Calgary, AB).
Their work is informed by their Indigenous heritage, their connection to the natural world and the spiritual essence of the Creator. Drawing from the traditions of Cree woodland art and the intricate beauty of Métis beadwork, their style is a unique synthesis, enriched by their illustration skills.
