| | OTHER HOLDINGS: | Goodwill, Alaynee | | ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | Alaynee Goodwill-Littlechild is a traditional First Nations artist from the Tatanka Najin Dakota Sioux Reserve in Saskatchewan, although she was raised on the Hobbema (now Maskwacis) Cree Nation in Alberta. She is one of many talented artists from the Tawaci Was’te (Goodwill) family and specializes in quillwork, beadwork and parfleche painting.
Goodwill is a registered social worker, child and family advocate, business owner, arts instructor, powwow dancer and mother. Within her art pieces, she shares the stories of and pays tribute to the history of her people, while keeping the integrity of traditional art processes. Each piece is constructed using authentic materials and culturally accurate methods to ensure the highest quality of work. She was one of 15 Aboriginal artists selected by Coca-Cola from across the country to create artwork on iconic Coke bottles for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, BC where she represented Alberta. She has had exhibitions at the Alberta Craft Council (Edmonton, AB) and at the Canadian Pavilion-Cheongju International Craft Biennale (Republic of Korea). |
