Name Story

​Wheelmaker Creative is inspired by a mixture of Indigenous and European backgrounds. While Jessica has been seeking out a personal understanding of her Métis identity, she has also been researching her Hungarian cultural heritage. What stood out about both cultures is an honoured, balanced connection to the Land. The search for an Indigenous community has brought Jessica to develop a bridge between the Western and Indigenous worldviews in her creative expression and ways of being. With a twist of her Hungarian culture, Jessica has proclaimed her birthright name "Kerekes," which translates from Hungarian to "wheel maker," as the axle to bringing in a balanced approach to this reclamation of her identity.

​Wheelmaking is a core part of Jessica and she is eager to establish connections with people and develop a new sense of community using creative processes. Together, we can!
