Jennifer Trefiak

Hiraeth (pronounced [heer-eye-th]) is a Welsh concept of longing for home.

Inspired by a two week tent camping trip on the North shore of Lake Superior, I immediately fell in love with the land of my ancestors and had a surprising sense of returning home. In this series I explore underlying themes of the sacred feminine; our shared concerns about climate change; and the significance of ‘place’ to First Nations people.

Jennifer Trefiak, a Cobourg born, now Colborne (Cramahe Township), Ontario based painter is a member of the Alderville First Nation who brings a lifelong connection to nature to her paintings.

Jennifer travels to sacred places in Ontario where words cannot venture, to connect with the land, the trees, and the water.

Working in acrylics and oils, her paintings are expressive and flow from an intuitive state of mind. Each painting becomes an object infused with nature’s messages, transporting you to moments of stillness, reflection, remembrance and gratitude.
