TRIBAL AFFILIATION: Penobscot

MEDIUM: Home & Body

ARTIST STATEMENT
My name is Jeanne Lewey. I live between Indian Township and Indian Island, Maine; I am affiliated with the Penobscot Nation. My cultural upbringing influenced my artisan soap-making and for me, the creative process begins when I'm in nature. I make sweetgrass and cedar soaps using ingredients including wild-harvested Blue Glacier clay, essential oils, milk, activated charcoal, French green clay, and more. I'm self-taught and am in my happy place when I create. I am happiest when creating a new recipe, and hope that my products put a smile on others' faces.

ARTIST STAMENT
I am a Penobscot artist, healer, and mother dedicated to revitalizing traditional medicine and Indigenous knowledge. With deep ancestral roots and a passion for holistic healing, My son Kaden and I founded People of the Dawn Apothecary, committed to helping others with traditional and all-natural remedies. Our work combines art, medicine, and cultural preservation, honoring our ancestors' wisdom while providing sustainable, earth-based healing solutions for the modern world. Our small business has enabled me to help out the Wabanaki community of elders by gifting them products throughout the past few years, we are honored to be doing this work.

All of our products are plastic-free and have holistic properties, please make sure to stop to say hello!
