JEANNE MORNINGSTAR KENT, B.F.A., M.A. Ed.

I am focused on illustrating the stories of the Northeast Woodland People with emphasis on the Wabanaki Group (Abenaki, MicMac, Maliseet, Penobscot, Passamaquody). The stories and designs are worked on gourds which have been traditionally used by First People since 10,000 B.C. Enrolled Member of the Abenaki Nation, Nulhegan Band, Coosuk-Abenaki of Vermont.

History Press released my book "The Visual Language of Wabanaki Art" in July, 2014.

My art is in the permanent collections at Chimney Point Museum (VT), Institute for American Indian Studies (CT) and the Roger Williams University Collection (RI). And can be found in numerous private collections as well as public collections such as one at the Brattleboro Airport and world wide private collections.

I am proud to have recently achieved the level of Master Culture Bearer by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association.
