Miciana Alise (Tlingit) said that she was inspired to become an artist by her grandmother, Alberta Aspen, who is a renowned button robe and regalia artist.
“Watching her create beautiful traditional work growing up made me want to create my own, but with a modern twist,” Miciana said. She strives to acknowledge her mixed heritage through her work—she makes and sells leather and suede earrings, assorted jewelry, digital art, stickers, and photography prints featuring unique formline designs.
