Illustration by Summer-Harmony Twenish
Summer-Harmony Twenish (she/they) is a queer Algonquin Anishinabe artist from Kitigan Zibi, Quebec. Her work is rooted in a deep love for her culture, homelands, and the women who raised her. Summer's work is unapologetically joyful, pissed-off, and tender. Through her playful illustrative style, she depicts the fluidity and diversity of Indigenous existence today, with Indigenous femmes to the front.
Sutherland's stories are an offering to the members of her community who supported her throughout her life.
