Meet the Artist

 Grandmother Gayle - Black Bear is a storyteller and inspirational speaker, encouraging others by transmuting and transforming herself from a lifetime of challenges and trauma. She began her Asperger’s lifepath with her first of several near-death experiences at birth. Her physical, emotional and mental limitations have not prevented her from having adventures around the world. Living in a small-town in rural Ontario Canada, Gayle has had to walk her talk. She no longer wanted to work behind the scenes anonymously fearful of judgement.
Gayle accepted an invitation to speak about her journey to mental health for her local Wellness Centre’s tenth anniversary celebrations. She sat on the Wellness Centre hospital board. Gayle was a client representative and soon became Chair of Public Relations for the Wellness Centre and was appointed editor of their newsletter. The hospital board of directors later nominated her for the “Courage to Come Back” award, which was designated by the “Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation” in Toronto. This award recognizes individuals who overcome mental illness and then proceed into the community to aid others experiencing the same hardships. Chosen by the Wellness Centre (2004), she represented the organization at the local board of education. She spoke in high schools throughout the County about the stigma of mental illness.
From personal experiences, growth and cellular memories, Grandmother Gayle shares her insights of overcoming trauma. Her wisdom of the origins, primordial based knowledge of the ancients, was gleaned from her Ancestral DNA crossing many cultures of Mother Earth. The ancient ancestors that she taps into are Mongolian, Siberian, Ukrainian, Viking, Celtic, and Ojibway.
