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.
