Courtney Hudson-McCorrister

Tansi! My name is Courtney Hudson-McCorrister, and I am a proud member of Fisher Bay, with deep ties to Peguis First Nation, Manitoba. My spirit and creativity have always been grounded in the land and community, but I am also reconnecting to the teachings of my ancestors. Growing up on my home reserve, I found my connection to the world through art. While I was not drawn to sports, the creative practices passed down through my family became my way of expressing myself. My distant biological father, an amateur artist, ignited my passion for visual storytelling. Through his influence, I began exploring photography, writing, painting, drawing, colouring, and watercolour—all of which allowed me to channel my emotions, experiences, and worldview into a variety of forms. The artwork I share today, though more than a decade old, represents not only my journey but also the evolving connections I have with the land, my people, and the stories that shape us. As you explore these pieces, you will notice the changes in colour, technique, and meaning—each reflecting my growth as an artist and my deeper understanding of the teachings of my culture.
