Christie Belcourt was one of the featured guests artists at the Water Is Life opening reception. Her artwork was part of the inspiration for the project and she traveled, along with artist Isaac Murdoch, from Canada to take part in the opening reception event, as part of their Sacred Earth Tour in the fall of 2017. Christie is an amazing artist and an eco-warrior, continually fighting for the water, land, air and all of the creatures of the earth through her work, her art, her words and her actions.
