I'm a multi-passionate creative specializing in Graphic Design & Art Direction. But I love dabbling in a lot of things! I'm a traditional printmaker (cyanoprint, linocut, and etching), a visual artist (gouache and watercolor), and I love doing art experiments.

Wild Roots Theatre

Founded in 1991, Wild Roots Theatre is a Winnipeg-based, incorporated charitable theatre organization dedicated to environmental education through performance—what we proudly call "Theatre for the Planet". Starting out as activists, we have grown to offer programming for kids, families and the general public, creating participatory theatrical experiences that make environmental and community issues feel real, urgent, and personal.
We explore environmental science through theatre, allowing participants to imagine, empathize and laugh, all while understanding the serious issues we face. We inspire audiences and participants to be gentler on our planet, giving them both hope and accountability through meaningful yet simple changes in daily habits, with tangible goals. Our programming is informative, realistic, and optimistic, emphasizing community spirit and individual action, with the message that every little bit of help is an invaluable contribution.
Through love of theatre -story, play, and emotional engagement- we elicit connection and real action. We aim to create artistic, engaging and memorable theatrical experiences that promote environmental stewardship and empower people of all ages to participate in climate protection. Grounded in sustainable practices, we are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in all the work we do.

Marc Kuegle

I’m a self taught Cree and German artist whose work blends photography and digital design. A lot of my inspiration comes from travel, skateboarding, and the people and places I encounter along the way. Through my work, I explore ideas around memory, place, and the connections that shape our experiences. I’ve had the opportunity to exhibit in cities like Bangkok, New York, Miami, and Mexico City. I enjoy bringing my work into everyday life through apparel, stickers, and collaborative projects that invite people to connect with what I create.
