Pam Levi is a multidisciplinary Mi’kmaq artist from Elsipogtog First Nation, New Brunswick. Her creativity flows through many forms — singing, dancing, acting, painting, and drawing — each one a reflection of her deep connection to culture and spirit. 
 
Pam’s vibrant murals, inspired by Indigenous teachings, have transformed school spaces across the TCDSB, inviting students into a visual journey of identity and tradition. With a passion for sharing knowledge, she’s brought Indigenous perspectives to hundreds of classrooms, blending storytelling and expression in powerful, visual ways. 
 
For Pam, art isn’t just a medium — it’s medicine. It’s a way of being, of feeling, of remembering. Through her work, she reminds us that art lives in all of us.
