Shannon Carla King

My mission is to use art as a tool to bring awareness to the beauty and importance of reclaimed sites, showcasing their transformation through paintings. My work honours environmental efforts to protect the land, by showcasing reclamation, preservation, and conservation areas.

My efforts to inspire and educate others to appreciate and protect these sites and to highlight the importance of sustainable practices has earned me a nomination for the Alberta Order of Excellence in 2024.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
