Channel a sense of harmony with the “Hummingbird” t-shirt by Dene artist John Velten; one of the co-winners of the MOA Shop’s 6th annual Emerging Indigenous Artist Contest. This unisex shirt is available in heather grey and heather blue.

“The hummingbird represents the flourishing and light-hearted take I’ve had towards learning more about who I am and where we reside,” says Velten. Northwest Coast formline design has helped him narrate his life and express his experiences, stories and emotions through imagery.

John Velten is an artist from the Lower Mainland area of BC who works in illustration, sculpture, painting, digital art and animation. He is of Dene and German Canadian heritage, and his life and work have been influenced by the extensive lineage of both ancestries. He has been working professionally since 2016 and has been commissioned by the City of Vancouver for a mural at the Vancouver City Centre Station. His work can also be seen at artist events and spaces across Vancouver.
