I am Markayla M. Wilson, I am from Wit'at Nation ( Lake Babine Nation ) and currently residing on Wet'suwet'en territory.
I started beading in the winter of 2018. My passion for art has been alive for as long as I can remember. I am grateful to have beads as my medium for my pieces.
I love to make pop culture pieces, goth/emo jewelry, cutesy pink jewelry, and modern formline pieces.
I am a mom to my beautiful three year old son. I have been sober for 4+ years now! I have struggled with rheumatoid arthritis for over 10 years now. I am so grateful to have been able to make a career out of my love of art and be able to take needed breaks for my health and for my son. <3
Mesih Cho (Thank you very much) for all of your love and support! <3

Hhighway of Tears
I have grown up learning about the sad endings and unfinished stories of many young women who have been lost or found deceased along the highway of tears. My late Aunt Ramona being one of them. Every June 11th, we walk along highway 16 to yelich road in Smithers where she was found to remember her and to bring awareness to mmiwg2s across turtle island.
To my late uncle Louis, uncle Tim, and cousin Eric. We still share memories of you all with each other and I appreciate your visits I my dreams. Nenyust'en ( May we meet again )

This piece is to represent resilience, new beginnings, insight, vulnerability, and strong spirits.
• Ba Dzee Hil T'is •( Strong Heart )
I dont seek havoc and revenge as I did in my youth. I just want to find my path of peace and happiness. This piece represents strength, vulnerability, and growth.

I was definitely dreaming of summer while working on this piece. The beautiful fields of fireweed filled with buzzing bees. I hope to be back home all summer and just soak up the sun by the river.
