Some new works with deep meaning.
The Native Children's Hidden Bones at Residential Schools 42x54 2021. I had a vision offering healing to the children's spirits. I was taken away with my siblings to Residential School in the 50's, I was held in a residential home for babies. We survived Canada's colonial horror. Even as a painter for 40 years, I've mostly shown in Indigenous exhibitions, Canadian art opens doors for only a select few as International artists. I mean to retire yet I still get called to create.
Thunderbird Nimkii Benisii 42x54 2022.
Ancestral Braids 42x54 2020
Jiibi The Red Road 60x80 2018
Studio work on the shores of SW Georgian Bay was to research and study Anishinaabek lands and waters. Adding final touch... May 2022
My Installation at Galerie La Centrale Montreal! July 1 & Aug 21 2022.
