Mo (they/them/she/her) is Onyota’a:ka with family ties to Oneida Nation of the Thames / Aamjiwnaang First Nation and French-Canadian. They’re a neurodivergent multidisciplinary artist and visual storyteller from a small town along the St. Clair River and are currently based in T’karonto (Toronto). Through their multidisciplinary art practice (painting, murals, mixed media, beading, journaling, poetry and textiles), they create visual stories about their lived experiences in connection to their personal healing. Mo is also inspired by intergenerational connections and healing, family and community, memories, personal and collective empowerment, and all of creation, especially skyworld. with .app
