Painting
Koren Smoke has been painting since childhood, carrying her Anishinaabe heritage into every brushstroke. Her work bursts with bright colour, layered symbolism, and a natural instinct for storytelling. She works primarily in acrylic on pre‑stretched canvas, creating pieces that feel both contemporary and deeply connected to tradition.
