About Delreé: Artist, Storyteller, Community Advocate
Wâpiski Kihéw Esquao - White Eagle Woman
Delreé's artistic mission goes beyond creating stunning visuals. She's deeply committed to celebrating her Cree heritage and fostering respect for the natural world. Each dot on her canvas is not just a pigment, but a thread woven into a larger story of cultural reverence and connection. Her artistic journey reflects this beautiful relationship—the teachings and experiences of an Indigenous woman intertwining with the meticulous practice of pointillism.
Inspiration strikes Delreé in the majestic landscapes of her home near Kootenays, BC. From the wisdom of the ancient mountains to the grace of wildlife, nature serves as her muse. She also draws inspiration from her role as a traditional pow wow dancer, translating the vibrant energy and cultural significance of regalia into her artwork. Respect for nature and its inhabitants is deeply ingrained in her spirit, influencing her choice of subjects and the stories her paintings tell.
Delreé's pointillism technique is a unique blend of realism and dreamlike elements. She often starts with a foundation in realism, adding layers of meticulously placed dots to create depth and texture. This captivating style has drawn comparisons to beadwork and leaves viewers with a sense of discovery as they explore the intricate details of each piece.
A World of Dots: Delreé's Creative Process
The foundation of Delreé's art is pointillism, a technique that uses tiny dots of colour to create vibrant and detailed images. But her approach takes it a step further. She often starts with a base layer of realism, adding layers of meticulously placed dots to bring depth and texture to the scene. Think of it as a tapestry woven with thousands of tiny threads of colour!
Creating a Delreé original is a labour of love and focus. It takes patience and a steady hand to place each dot, slowly building the image layer by layer. Sometimes, the dots themselves become a form of storytelling. The intricate patterns and textures they create have even been compared to the beauty of beadwork, inviting viewers to explore the details and discover hidden meanings.
Delreé's creative process is about capturing a feeling, a story, a connection to the natural world. Every piece is a window into her unique perspective, inviting you to experience the beauty and significance of her world—one tiny dot at a time.
Art with a Purpose
Beyond her artistic pursuits, Delreé is deeply committed to supporting causes close to her heart. As a passionate advocate for Indigenous communities, she contributes to organizations working on issues such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the legacy of residential schools, and wildlife conservation.
