This is achieved by investigating her Indigenous culture and heritage while remaining grounded by family. Jannuska’s mediums include acrylic, watercolor, pen, pencil crayon, mixed media, beadwork, and murals. She teaches art workshops in beading, dreamcatchers, drawing, painting (step-by-step), sweetgrass baskets, and crankie making.
