Morningstar, also known as Alannah Jewell, is a French-First Nations artist. Alanah received an Honours BA in Sociology from Wilfrid Laurier University, and had dreams of attending law school or pursuing a Masters degree. However, life took a turn when she decided to pursue art as a hobby in 2019; she quickly developed a love for creating. Illustrating and painting soon became her life’s work, and through this she has been able to connect with other Indigenous creators, participate in community, and express culture, love and connection through her art. Morningstar’s talents have led to her collaborating with some of the biggest companies in tech and animation.
