Brenda Mitten is not just a photographer; she's a storyteller, a documenter of cultures, and a bridge between worlds. As a member of the Bear Clan of the Seneca Nation of Indians, she calls Six Nations of the Grand River territory her home. Her journey into photography began as a young teen, sparked by an innate love for capturing moments that tell profound stories.
I couldn't be happier with the stunning "Remember the Removal" photograph I purchased; it brings a sense of serenity and beauty to my living room that I adore.
The "Little John" photograph I bought is a conversation starter in my home, with its captivating imagery and superb quality.
I purchased "Traditional Dancer" photograph that perfectly captures a memorable moment, and it has become a cherished addition to my personal art collection.
"My work has led me down various paths, including documenting the political challenges that have been a part of my life since childhood. The enduring struggle for land rights among Native people has been a consistent theme throughout history, and it continues to be a focus of my work. The individuals I photograph during these turbulent times are part of my everyday world—my neighbors, colleagues, and friends. My goal is to capture a different perspective, one that highlights the unique experiences and resilience of our community."
