Paintings by Janice Toulouse (6 pages/click to enlarge)
My art is represented on Artsper.com in Paris, France! I live in Meaford Ontario, Paris is my second home. I was represented by the only Indigenous gallery in Paris in the 1990's. My Solo Show opened October 16 2020 to April 2021 at the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation, Manitoulin Island. Now returning from Paris in 2022, inspired to paint new art in these troubled times.

2021 Permanent Acquisition to the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation
"Tradition In Transformation", oil/acrylic on canvas 65 x 106 2017
Tradition In Transformation is painted to help bring balance and positive energy for Mother Earth. This piece is inspired by my late eldest sister Valerie McCue’s star blankets. This painting speaks of our traditions that remain constant while we learn the old teachings to guide us in the transformation of todays world. The eight pointed star represents the morning star. Through decolonizing ourselves we express our teachings in new ways and art forms.
