Cynthia Boehm is a practising expert in the beadwork and embroidery patterns of her Cree-Métis ancestors, specifically the bold and vibrant designs from her home community of Norway House that were produced during the fur trade in the mid- to late 19th century. She was commissioned by the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre in 2020 to produce a “resilience mask,” and in 2019 was awarded the Barbara Cook Endres First Place Award for her stand-alone floral beaded piece My Journey Home — Honouring Our Grandmothers at the Manitoba Society of Artists Provincial Open Juried Competition. Her work is not only reflective of her desire to create beautiful pieces, but to honour her grandmother and her community members, whose work continues as a source of pride and love.
