Betty Albert-Licenz was adopted and raised by French Canadian parents in Northern Ontario.

She spent time on Vancouver Island, where both her interests in art and spirituality surfaced. Over the next twenty years, she worked with pen and ink and refined her artistic techniques.

Circumstances eventually brought her back to her Native American father, where she discovered her birthright as a Cree. Betty then began an art business, and her father named it “Wabimeguil Art Studio,” which distributes art throughout North America. Like many Cree people, dreams play an important part in her life and her work. She discovered that the people in her dreams were faceless, and this is reflected in some of her artwork.
Her art allows the viewer to experience tradition, action, and deep spirituality.

Her use of vibrant acrylic colours invites us to view creation in a new way. Through her painting, “Wabimeguil (White Feather),” she expresses not only her own spiritual growth but also encourages people to experience “The Peace” represented in her art.

Betty lives with her husband, and together they operate an art gallery and printing facility, where they distribute and market the work of a variety of artists.
