Tiana is a Penobscot Artist, healer, and mother who pulls inspiration from her family and community. She creates with a passion gifted to her by her ancestors; her love for creating art rivals the love she has for revitalizing traditional medicine and Indigenous knowledge. She is committed to helping others with traditional and all-natural remedies. To help bridge that gap, her work combines art, medicine, and cultural preservation, honoring the ancestors’ wisdom while providing sustainable, earth-based healing solutions for the modern world. Showing that healing through art, and culture is possible.

Tiana’s work consists of paintings that are created with Watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media, digital designs and logos. She also founded People of the Dawn Apothecary, committed to helping others with traditional and all-natural remedies. All People of the Dawn products are plastic-free and have holistic properties!
