“My Artwork celebrates the world of Lacrosse. Its a way of life. For some it is a vibrant sport. For all it is born from a rich tradition that continues to transcend each generation. The spirit of Lacrosse is as vital now as it was at its genesis. Lacrosse is Now! Thank You for celebrating TEWAARATON with me.” -Joni Sarah White
“In so many ways, Tewaaraton or Lacrosse is how we live. It is a way of community and life. It is a gift.”
Joni Sarah White
Artist
“I learned everything in the beginning of my life surrounded by the beauty of the Saint Lawrence River and in the care of a family which extended to a league of Lacrosse Uncles and their families. I learned about commitment and the balance of victory and defeat. But, most importantly I learned about finding the thing that makes you feel the most correct in your being and pursuing it for its spirit. This I learned from my father and I apply It to my Artwork as I create everyday. This is the very essence of “Art of Lacrosse”.
