MI’KMAW ARTISAN
ANNIE MARTIN
••••⟢ ♌︎ ☉ ♎︎ ☾ ♋︎ ↑ ⟢••••

I am Mi’kmaw, grew up in Sikuek, Mi’kma’ki, and am a member of Millbrook First Nation. I have lived in Epekwitk for over a decade and began my pyrography journey in 2014. Growing up both by the forest and the ocean, you will see the water, the trees, and Mi’kmaq designs and motifs throughout my work. I have always been drawn to the moon and all things celestial and magical, and that love often finds its way into my creations, bringing a touch of mystery, intuition, and cosmic beauty to each piece.

Each piece in my collection is made with love and fire—crafted using handmade or locally sourced wood wherever possible, ensuring a connection to nature and sustainability. From burned vegan suede hats to wooden boxes and bowls, leather earrings, bags, and bracelets, to apparel and so much more, I am always striving to find new ways to be creative.

Wela’lin - thank you for visiting RoseWolf—I hope you find a piece that speaks to you. Please reach out if you have any questions, are looking to collab, or are interested in a custom piece.
