Meghan Weeks is the creative force behind MDW Jewelry, where she serves as artist, maker, designer, and small business owner. With a background in woodworking and informal training in silversmithing, Meghan’s work blends tactility, humour, Cree teachings, and childhood memories. Her pieces, crafted through fabrication, beadwork, carving, and lost wax casting, are made from sterling silver and beads, aimed at decolonizing the jewelry world and fostering dialogue between the wearer and the art.
Meghan is a member of Sucker Creek First Nation in Treaty 8 territory, and a long-time Vancouver resident who actively contributes to BC’s cultural economy. Since 2018, she has showcased her work at Indigenous festivals, gallery spaces, and for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients. Meghan holds a BFA in Media Arts from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and values her roles as a mentor and collaborator. Her jewelry, inspired by nature and cultural heritage, is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful
