Migizi Kwe - Eagle Woman, oil and acrylic on canvas 36 x 46 inches 2020
The image of a woman's nude torso with the head of an eagle came to me in a dream, after I visited a giant cedar tree where eagles nested and I sang the Anishinaabe eagle song to them. I believe my dream was a gift from the Creator. I was compelled to paint this image. Eagle woman depicts her Matriarchal power. She is protected by the head of an eagle. I dedicated her to the Indigenous women who have survived sexual abuse. For sale

Review: http://esse.ca/fr/feminismes spring 2017
Curated by Lea Toulouse at the Winsor Gallery, Vancouver: Maria Hupfield, Jeneen Frei Njootli, Wendy Red Star, Tsēma Tamara Skubovius,
Janice Toulouse, Olivia Whetung, writer's talk Lee Maracle
Ogema: I am Woman centers matriarchal modes of seeing and being: representations of First Nations as seen and created by female artists Indigenous to North America. The exhibition is at once a celebration and testimony that makes visible Indigenous accomplishments with a focus on positive and constructive counteractions against the colonial violence Indigenous people, and specifically Indigenous women, have endured. This exhibition will establish the role of Indigenous women in decolonization as first and foremost self-determined, as well as raise questions surrounding decolonial theories in the contexts of both art and politics, using the act of creation as a political performance.

I curated “Nay Chem Was The Talking Stick Exhibition," Roundhouse Art Centre Feb 2012, 9 Indigenous Artists of Canada
The Talking Stick is sacred, it symbolises wisdom and honour to Indigenous people of the Americas as a means of communication at ceremonies and important meetings. The speaker who holds the Talking Stick has the right to speak, the people respect this and must remain silent. The Talking Stick holds a power that calls up the spirit of our ancestors to guide the holder to speak the truth.
“Nay ChemWas The Talking Stick Exhibition," I selected 9 Indigenous Artists from across Canada, I designed the installation in a giant circle in a 3000 ft space. Artists selected: Rebecca Belmore, Peter Morin, Charlene Vickers, Michelle Sylliboy, Rick Harry, Dionne Paul, Lance Cardinal, Janice Toulouse

Summer of 2017, my outdoor studio/ atelier in the south of France. So many years of painting here, I first arrived in 1983. The original studio is across the field, it was damaged during a storm, so all that remains is the old stone walls and our cherished memories..
