Kordeena Clayton is a Multidisciplinary artist of African Nova Scotian and Kalinago descent. Born in Mi’kma’ki, known today as the province of Nova Scotia, Kordeena is a proud, Queer, self-taught, visual artist who focuses on the importance of representation of Black and Brown people through inclusivity and self-embracement.

Kordeena's creative determination and artistic visions developed from the colour complexities her oldest daughter faced growing up at a young age. At the time, there was little to no representation, felt or seen in media. The motherly instinct of healing and caring for her child opened up the creative avenues in which she has since created meaningful representation that supported and encouraged healthy, important self-esteem and self-acceptance. From this point on, Kordeena went on creating with various mediums: painting, photography, graphic and clothing design, film, and newly found sculpting.

With an unapologetic approach to art making and the sense of belonging as the foundation of her artistry, this makes the creations meaningful and her expression limitless.
