Veronica took an interest in art at an early age, but it wasn’t until she attended the Freda Diesing School of Northwest coast art, between 2014-2016, that she decided to pursue her artistic abilities professionally. After graduating from the school, she transferred to Emily Carr University of Art + Design, from which she continued with wood sculpture and completed her Bachelors of Fine Arts in spring of 2018. Veronica has been awarded the YVR Youth Scholarship twice and has mentored with other artists such as Dempsey Bob and Gerry Sheena, and plans to continue learning and working alongside other artists.
