This unique and stylish hat features the artwork of Native Kwakwaka'wakw artist Francis Dick. Embroidered on the side of this blue/teal beanie is the 'raven'. In Native stories Raven is the bringer of light. The smaller face at the bottom represents the humanity which the Raven brought light to. This hat is made of 100% acrylic and comes in one adult size for both men and women. It is large enough to fit over your ears and will keep you warm and comfortable during the winter. Enjoy this custom embroidered knit hat in a nice bright colour.
Francis’s work whether visual, lyrical or verbal is strongly influenced by her cultural heritage. Much of her earlier art contains images of her family’s Kawadelekala legend. However as Francis’s style and art form developed, she began to work on images outside of her culture. Nonetheless, her cultural traditions still have a strong influence on her work.
Francis finds meaning in her life through her creativity in art, which she ‘dreams up’ and constructs. She plays an integral part within the Native art community in Canada. She has been invited to speak for various community organizations, women’s groups and university classes.
Today, Francis’ art is internationally renowned. Her story has been heard in various universities around the world, and her art travelled worldwide and was exhibited in North America, Asia and Europe. She presently lives in Victoria, B.C. where she is continually working with her creative expressions to fabricate a meaningful way of life.
