Mohawk artist Marlana Thompson, of the Wolf Clan, brings her heritage to life through stunning creations. Born and raised in Akwesasne, where she resides with her husband Wayne Baker and their children, Marlana's artistic journey began at the tender age of seven. Initially crafting pieces for ceremonies and powwows, her passion blossomed into a full-time pursuit under the label Okwa:ho Creations.

Marlana's artistry transcends mere aesthetics. She skillfully weaves the very essence of life into her work, seamlessly blending traditional Mohawk elements with contemporary flair. This unique fusion has garnered her widespread recognition. From captivating audiences at the Toronto Sky Dome Powwow to gracing the walls of the Smithsonian Institution and international museums in Germany and New York, Marlana's creations have found a global stage. Her work has even been featured in Teen Vogue magazine, a testament to its wide-ranging appeal.

A fixture at powwows and art shows across North America, Marlana thrives on collaboration. She partners with clients to design pieces that embody their individuality and spirit, using a diverse range of mediums to bring their visions to life.
