Collection: Potvin, Jacqueline

Jacquie Potvin is an indigenous Red River Metis artist and published author. Born in Alberta, she arrived in Nova Scotia 25 years ago to achieve her Bachelor of Design at NSCAD University continuing on to achieve her Masters in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University. She believes Art and Psychology go hand in hand – both as a way of expressing ourselves and in understanding our thoughts from new perspectives. She currently runs her own private practice as a licensed Counselling Therapist often sharing in healing arts practices with her clients.

Jacquie has been a professional artist since 2009 with paintings currently hanging in public and private galleries across Canada and the United States. She also works as an Indigenous Advocate with the healthcare system helping Indigenous people access safe, and culturally appropriate care.  Her paintings are of a spiritual nature, meant to keep her connected to her roots and receive messages from her ancestors.
