SCENTED CANDLE - GUARDIAN

Guardian was created to reflect Sasquatch’s movement—walking between worlds, grounded in both. It opens with a cool breath of forest air—light, clear, and open. Clary sage and vetiver give the scent its weight, anchoring it to the land. A trace of warmth rises through the base, steady and subtle, carrying a sense of protection. This is a scent that connects the seen and unseen—air and earth, grounded in the quiet presence of a guardian’s protection.

Michelle Stoney, an artist from Hazelton, BC, skillfully blends the complex form lines of Gitxsan art with the vibrant colors of Cree designs. Influenced from a young age by her grandfather and great uncle, both revered Gitxsan artists, Michelle was immersed in her cultural artistic traditions early on. She further developed her skills and refined her distinctive style at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. This education helped her create a personal approach that seamlessly combines traditional elements with her own creative interpretations. Michelle’s impact goes beyond her art. She’s deeply committed to her community, leading workshops and cultural camps that inspire and teach young Indigenous artists to express their heritage creatively.
