Yvette 'Cookie' Bouvier is an artist from the Duck Mountain area of Manitoba. Yvette was born in a log cabin near the location where the Boggy Creek empties into the Shell River. She currently lives on the shores of Happy Lake. Throughout her life, Yvette has dabbled in various arts and crafts. As her interest in her Metis background grew, she began to focus on leather crafts. Demand for her work increased and Yvette's hobby became her full-time career. She expanded her knowledge and expertise to other traditional forms of work. Today, in addition to bead work and leather-craft, she also does caribou hair tufting, quill work and birch bark biting.
