Artist Talk: Krystal Bigsky

“My Art piece is Live at the Art Windsor Essex. Titled “He has Grey Eyes” -a memory piece for my late brother Gregory Wayne who played hockey at an Indian boarding school in Southern Saskatchewan. Beaded sweetgrass on the blade of a hockey stick. This is probably my most favorite part of the Hockey Stick.” – Krystal Bigsky
