SYDNEY, N.S. — Arts Nova Scotia has awarded Mi'kmaq/Wampanoag artist Nancy E. Oakley the 2023 Indigenous Artist Recognition Award. Her connection to her heritage, her 22 years of dedication to her craft, and her role as an advocate for Indigenous artists in Atlantic Canada make her a deserving recipient of this award.
Her work, now primarily in pottery, is a marriage of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary creativity. Oakley said once she found clay, no other medium felt as good in her hands. Oakley also is a big promoter of other indigenous artists including her daughters who she is proud to see following in her footsteps.
