Shyla was raised away from her Indigenous community in an urban area and is grateful to have settled in Prince George on the traditional unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh. \nShyla learned to bead three years ago as a way of reconnecting and rediscovering her Indigenous culture and history. Shyla is a self-taught beadwork artist but has learned many techniques along the way from other talented Indigenous artists. \nShyla balances the use of contemporary and traditional beadwork designs and techniques along with the use of traditional materials in her work. Shyla is constantly inspired by ancestor pieces\, historical beadwork pieces that are often found in museums\, art galleries\, and personal collections. These designs heavily influence Shyla’s work through materials\, colour\, and pattern choices. Shyla strives to keep our traditions alive through her beadwork that can be shared with future generations. \nShyla’s work has been displayed at the Amelia Douglas Institute and Omineca Arts Centre along with various online group exhibitions. Shyla facilitates beading workshops with Indigenous non-profits to share cultural knowledge and traditions while engaging youth. \nAn example of Shyla’s beading work.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAbout AutismBC Goes: \nAt AutismBC Goes events\, we aim to foster a sense of community and belonging\, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation. By organizing engaging outings and activities\, we offer opportunities for autistic individuals and their families to connect and have a supportive environment.
