Melissa Peter-Paul is a Mi'kmaw artist from Abegweit First Nation,[1][2] Epekwitk/Prince Edward Island. Her work is primarily Mi'kmaq quillwork, and utilizes porcupine quills, along with birch bark, sweet grass, and spruce root.[2][3][4] She has won multiple awards for her work, which has been featured in group exhibitions in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Maine, as well as publications.[1][5][6] In addition to her quillwork, Peter-Paul has designed a crosswalk in Charlottetown.[3] In 2019, the city was also the location of her first solo exhibition.[4]
Peter-Paul lives on Epekwitk, with her two sons.[1][4]
Background
Quillwork is a traditional Mi'kmaq craft, but is no longer commonly practised.[4][7] Peter-Paul's great-great-grandmother was a quiller, and examples of her work can be found in the Nova Scotia Archives.[4] Peter-Paul was first introduced to the craft by her cousin.[4] Additionally, her parents help her harvest ingredients for her work.[2][6]
Peter-Paul considers her work a revival of the art form, as well as carrying on her family tradition.[4][2] She has stated, "The ancestors' presence when I do quillwork is so strong and I really feed off of it",[4] as well as that it is "integral" to her identity as a Mi'kmaw person.[4] She is a founding member of The Quill Sisters, "a community of skilled quill workers on Epekwitk that seeks to revitalize the traditional art form through collaborative projects".[6]
