Vanessa is registered as a land claim beneficiary with Sanikiluaq, Nunavut. Her grandfather was taken by ship at the age of 19 years old and placed in a Sanitorium in London, ON for over 7 years where they experimented on him and took his lung. He wasn't able to live without medical treatment and was eventually moved to Moose Factory hospital where he would be an X-ray technician for over 30 years. Vanessa has a true love for the James Bay and the people who live there.

Vanessa's business was created based on Elders providing her with their scrap seal fur and their belief to create beautiful creations. The Elders in Vanessa's life have the biggest impact on her creations and have helped her evolve as an artist. Vanessa will forever be grateful to all of them.
