Emma Hassencahl-Perley, a Tobique First Nation Artist and NBCCD instructor was recently commissioned to paint a monumental mural on the walking bridge over St. Anne's Point Drive.
"I am so proud of this work as it has challenged me everyday. This is the City of Fredericton’s first commissioned mural and so it has been my honour to do this work in the extension of my home on unceded Wolastoqey territory. I have decided to title it, “Wici Kseltomuwakon (With Love)” - my love letter to the Wolastoq. Woliwon (thank you) to my mom for all her help; my boss for giving me the time; and the committee for selecting me."
Share this experience with Emma by gathering in front of it, taking a photo and sharing with her what wall has become your favorite. Don't forget to tag her so she can see you enjoying her hard work, dedication, and the love that went into creating it.

Alumna Jenell Flynn, received her Foundation of Visual Arts certificate in 2011 and graduated with a diploma in Fibre Arts in 2013. She has been busy bee ever since!
"Creating woven wall art and decor perfectly blends my passion for textile and fibre art, and my love for home decor. Each weaving is thoughtfully handcrafted by myself, using a combination of colour, texture, and pattern to add dimension and warmth to your home. Woven with a variety of fibres, yarns, and metallic detail, every piece is unique and intentional in its design."
Over a year and a half ago, Jenell launched her company Spruce & Linen where she creates woven wall art and modern home decor. "I hadn’t done any weaving in a long time, and in 2017 I was introduced to modern woven wall hangings created on frame looms, and I knew right away that’s what I wanted to do."
This past May she participated in her very first handmade market in Dawson Creek, B.C. and what a huge success it turned out to be. This November, Jenell will be going back to Dawson Creek for the Northern Handmade Market with new designs and even bigger ideas! She recently purchased a Glowforge laser cutter and has been experimenting with different digital designs. "It's incredibly satisfying to design something on my computer and watch it become a tangible object." On her list of potential ideas, laser cut jewellery and shaped looms are at the top. We can't wait to hear more!
It's so exciting for us to watch our students become masters! We are very proud of you and all your accomplishments Jenell Flynn. ... See MoreSee Less
