In First Nations cultures we have no word for art, as all things in life emulate art....
Out of my imagination and personal journey images are derived, sometimes haunting, sometimes whimsical....all things intuitive are also my influence !
Brilliant color, evocative portraits fill paper and canvass.....homage pieces to the past....photographs of Chiefs and those that bear / bore witness to the historical situations First Nations people in Canada experienced are evident in my work !
As an Artist, Story teller, educator, writer, sometimes cultural worker...I see my role as an important one, as we are living in a time of change; artists are seers; & that is our role in society !
