Justien Senoa Wood (Northern Tutchone, Dene) is a gifted multi‑disciplinary artist from Yukon, Canada, and a proud member of the Na‑Cho Nyäk Dun First Nation and the Wolf Clan. Since childhood she has expressed herself through her art, finding her voice in carving, painting, and beading—a practice launched in 2007 as a student in the Sundog Carving Program. Today, Justien continues to build her artistic career through workshops, community teaching, festivals, and markets. Justien blends her Northern Tutchone/Dene spirit into all her work. She often reflects traditional motifs and a deep connection to land, sky, and water, reinterpreted through bold color, texture, and contemporary form. As she says: "Art expresses our traditions and our deep connection to the land, sky and water." These works strike a harmonious balance between modern abstraction and cultural storytelling, evoking both ancestral heritage and fresh visual energy.
As a parent and independent creator, Justien continues learning and evolving—now integrating beadwork into her carving, experimenting with new media, and creating functional and decorative art that resonates with joy, identity, and the spirit of the Yukon
