LL (Lynette La Fontaine) is a Métis visual artist with roots in northern Saskatchewan, as well as the historic Métis community of the Red River settlement. They grew up on the traditional, unceded Dakelh territory of the Stella’ten and currently reside in the traditional territory of the  Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Xʷsepsəm/Esquimalt) people and ancestors. They are a citizen of the Métis Nation of British Columbia (MNBC). Their work is grounded in traditional Métis art forms and materials, which is strongly connected to the land, heart, spirit, ancestors and teachings from Elders and knowledge holders. With the intent to honour these connections, LL utilizes their preferred media of traditional and contemporary beadwork, hair tufting, white fish scales, mixed media, acrylic painting and fabrics.
