Drum Award Artist

AaniiBozhoo, Kennedy Cameron-Nashkewasaugeen ind-onjiba. Hello, my name is Kennedy Cameron-Nashkewa and I was born and raised in saugeen First Nation. I’m a grade 12 student and anishinaabe artist, who’ll be pursuing a higher education in the arts because it allows me to stay connected to my land and people, along with the stories that tie us together. I’ve been creating art since I could hold a pencil, and growing up surrounded by many talented people like my aunty Emily Kewageshig, made it easy to get inspired. My culture and language plays a vital role in who I am as a person and how I choose to act, and through my art I’ve been able to create an outlet to share it with others. 

PAIR Centerpiece Artist

Welcome to Erindale Design – Where creativity, craftsmanship, and intention come together to create truly unique pieces.

From the moment I first worked with resin, I was captivated by the process. The mesmerizing colour combinations, the cosmic patterns, the shimmering crystals, and the organic flow that makes each creation one of a kind. Over time, I also discovered a deep passion for woodworking, guided by my incredibly talented husband, a Finishing Carpenter. With his mentorship, I’ve learned to craft beautiful decor pieces for homes, businesses, and hotels – each one made with care, precision, and creativity.

Every piece I create is mindfully crafted, embracing both the elements I choose and the unpredictable magic of the process. No two pieces are ever the same; each one tells its own story, infused with energy and intention. Whether displayed in a home, a business, or a hotel, my goal is to create art that sparks joy and enhances the space around it.

All pieces are handmade with mindfulness, crafted with the intention to spark joy—whether displayed as art or used in everyday life.
