Blueberry Walk Print

The Teaching: Makwa and the Gift of Gathering

In the warmth of the summer, the land offers its sweetest gifts. Blueberry Walk captures a sacred moment between Mama Bear (Makwa) and her cub as they traverse the berry patches. In Indigenous teachings, the Bear is the keeper of medicine and the protector of the family. She teaches us patience, courage, and how to find nourishment in the earth. This painting honors that maternal guidance—the gentle way a mother shows her little one which path to take and which berries are sweet. It is a symbol of the nurturing spirit that helps us grow and the interconnectedness of all living things.

The Art: A Vibrant Woodland Journey

Jessica Somers weaves a visual story of abundance in this Woodland-style artwork. The soft glow of sunlight illuminates the stylized floral patterns and ripe blueberries, creating a sense of warmth and harmony. The panoramic format allows the viewer to walk alongside the bears, following the flow of the land.

• Palette: Rich berry blues, lush greens, and warm, sun-dappled accents.
• Symbolism: The Bear (protection/medicine), Blueberries (abundance/gratitude), and the Walking Path (guidance/mentorship).
