Emerald Lake

Hi, I’m Yvonne Dixon — part artist, part CSM, full-time juggler of big dreams (and four daughters!). I’m a self-taught Indigenous artist originally from Vancouver Island, now calling Saskatoon home. My roots run deep in the Okanagan Valley, and so does my love for capturing the beauty of nature, culture, and those little everyday moments that take your breath away.

Armed with acrylics, resin, and way too many paintbrushes, I create landscapes, abstracts, and ocean inspired pieces that bring movement, texture, and colour into everyday spaces. I also design functional resin art like charcuterie boards — because who says art can’t be deliciously practical?

My journey into art has been anything but traditional. Between raising four daughters, helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses in the ecomm world, and sneaking in sketchbook time whenever I could, I’ve built a portfolio that’s as vibrant and resilient as the places and people that inspire me.

When I’m not in the studio (or online), you’ll probably find me outdoors with my camera, chasing sunsets, or finding new ways to bring stories of heritage, community, and connection into my work.

Oh — and giving back matters just as much as creating. That’s why I support causes close to my heart, from Amnesty International’s work for missing Indigenous women to Plan Canada’s Because I’m a Girl initiative and disaster relief with the Red Cross.

Art, business, family, and community — it all weaves together here. And I’m so glad you’ve found your way into my little corner of it.
