Artist
Renee Jewell (Trippie Hippie Co.)
Renee Jewell is an Anishinaabe/Haudenosaunee stained glass artist. Her father is from Oneida of the Thames while her mother came from Walpole where she grew up. In 2011, Renee was involved in an automobile accident which left her with chronic pain. This led to negative implications on her mental health. After Renee’s therapist suggested that she find a “positive distraction,” she chose to learn the art of stained glass. Creating stained glass almost daily helped Renee conquer the negative mental health symptoms she was experiencing.
