"Currently living in Vancouver but born in Barrie, Ontario, Pawis-Steckley is a member of Wasauksing First Nation. He does illustration work and has been a painter. He has been illustrating children's books recently and is learning how to code as well. He works within the Woodland art style, taking some traditional elements that and modernizing it, blending it with his own unique style."
