Indigenous Queen of Hearts

Step into a world where tradition meets power, and culture intertwines with regality. This striking piece of Joanne’s art reimagines the iconic Queen of Hearts playing card through the lens of Indigenous heritage, celebrating strength, compassion, and the timeless beauty of ancestral wisdom with a serious play on the bougee side. Adorned with intricate dentillium, elk teeth and a crown that echoes geometric symbols, the colorful Indigenous Queen of Hearts is more than a visual masterpiece—she is a symbol of identity, pride, and the enduring spirit of Indigenous women. Let her story inspire you, her presence move you, and her essence remind you of the profound connection between art, culture, and the heart that so many of our women carry with joy and kindness.
