As an Indigenous creative, I make it my job to produce art that represents the wildlife and people who don’t often have a voice in our society. I spend a large part of my time in the wildlands where inspiration is everywhere. Each piece I create is based on a real-life encounter: a grizzly walking on a trail, a wolf hunting in a valley, a moose feeding in the river…. Each painting is a story.
