She is an award-winning artist in a variety of media including beadwork and stained glass and an extraordinary traditional storyteller. Her storytelling work has been seen and heard by international audiences in-person, online, and on stage. She is the founder of Bar Harbor Ghost Tours, which features Wabanaki Spirit Tales and the co-author of Haunted Bar Harbor published by Arcadia Publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jennifer draws inspiration from her deep connection to her Mi&#8217;kmaq heritage, especially her ancestors&#8217; cultural resilience and perseverance despite efforts to eradicate their culture.\u00a0Through her art, Jennifer seeks to &#8220;explore the themes of identity and belonging, to reclaim and redefine Mi\u2019kmaq narratives in a contemporary context. Each piece is a rebuttal of the prevalent ideas that we are no longer here, reminding viewers of the importance of preserving and honoring indigenous heritage in an ever-changing world.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Photos: Jennifer Pictou &#8211;
