-Sheila Alexandrovich
-Sheila Alexandrovich was a single mother with two kids in 1990. She decided to continue her business and stay living forty-five miles outside of Whitehorse with no electricity or phone. She made baskets of willow, driftwood, cedar bark, and pine needles in traditional and contemporary designs. She made dolls and sold them in coastal Alaska. She hired her children to help with the business and taught courses in basketry and leatherwork.((Linda Chamberland, //Arctic Inspirations.// Alaska Department of Public Health, 2002: 47-49.)) She moved into jewellery making and then added wet and needle felting. Sheila continues to live an off-grid lifestyle, with small farm life that inspires colour, design and materials that she uses. She exhibits and teaches in the Yukon and leads numerous workshops throughout the Pacific Northwest.((Artist in the School, 2024 website: Sheila Alexandrovich • Artists • Artists in the School))
