Juanita Ens biography

After spending 5 years apprenticing with a mentor from 2006-2011 Juanita took a hiatus from the art market to raise her twins born in 2009. A gifted jeweler Juanita won a YVR Foundation Award in 2008 that helped her expand her practice into Argillite carving. In 2009 she won a YVR Foundation Award again which allowed her to pursue carving wood.

In the years since Juanita has learned a variety of new skills and is embracing new mediums. A combination of limited access to traditional materials and a passion for colour and exploration lead her to the medium of stained glass. Around since the 7th century, stained glass is an artform itself and a new and innovative medium for Haida artistic expression.
