Signature Engraved Designs
Aaniin. Hello.
My name is Sharifah Marsden, I am an Anishinaabe (Ojibway) artist from the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Since early childhood I have been directed toward a life of art and culture. I draw on my Ojibway roots and knowledge of the Woodlands style to create unique works that include everything from acrylic painting to beadwork, jewellery engraving and murals.

Heartberry Gatherers
The women bring their children to gather strawberries, a time of sharing, a time of renewal, celebrating the berry and also the closeness of family & sisterhood. The sweet berry that Anishinaabe people call Ode’imin, means the heart

Deeply Meaningful Mural Projects
Murals are a collaborative experience and wonderful reason to bring a community together, share stories and teachings. In my mural projects I want to collaborate with as many who will join me. It is important to me that apprentice local youth in all my projects to share what's been shared with me.
I am very thankful to the many who have mentored me in my mural jounrye, in particular, Jerry Whitehead - Cree and Richard Tetrault. Please visit their websites and support their work.
