Water protectors are activists, organizers, and cultural workers focused on the defense of the world's water and water systems. The water protector name, analysis and style of activism arose from Indigenous communities in North America during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at the Standing Rock Reservation, which began with an encampment on LaDonna Brave Bull Allard's land in April, 2016.

Beatris is a very prolific artist, she has explored different forms of art while continuing to develop techniques in oil painting.

"An idea catches my eye, surrounds my mind and inspires me to create. My process is organic and changes like clouds in the sky. I discover as I go. My main influence is 'light' and the subtle contrast with the dark, and how I manifest it with the use of palette knives, brushes and my hands, giving an impasto effect with the texture inherent in oil painting. Oils dry slowly. This allows me to stop the process and start again with, perhaps, a new perspective. Sometimes I use a brush, but mostly I use a palette knife to paint. With the palette knife I can bring clean, vibrant color and texture to the canvas. I choose to use only the three primary colors and white which I like. it gives you the freedom to create any nuance you want and bring a certain harmony, as if you were a conductor in a color orchestra

When we make art we transform ourselves. When we challenge our limits, you are able to expand yourself artistically and, at the same time, feel the connection with our surroundings. At that moment the mind stops. You are in the pure presence of the present, where everything is beyond criticism. More on Beatris Burgoin
