The Change of Season
Original Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 20" X24"
$395
The story behind this painting The Change of Season
This painting is representative of remembering the carefree activities of childhood. I remember when I was a child playing in a field and took time for a rest. I was watching the birds and butterflies dancing and singing their songs of beauty.
At the time, I experienced feelings of sadness and anger but the beauty of this scenery took me away for a little while. The dark colours represent those negative feelings and the bright colours represent the enlightenment which I felt at that particular moment in time.

Power of Transformation
Original Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 36 " X 24 "
$695
The story behind this painting Power of Transformation
There are three levels of beings represented in this painting. The sky level is the Thunderbird: the Earth level is represented by the snake: the Water level is represented by the Turtle.
The Shaman can transform or shape-shift and experiences many powerful visions. They seek out Manitou from the different levels of Creation. A Shaman or Medicine Man/Woman is a very important person in Ojibwe society and they hold many degrees of power to help their people or community.
This painting illustrates a Shaman who is experiencing what it is like being a snake and learning about plant medicines from the snake spirit.

The story behind this painting Celebration
This is a painting of a child that is represented as a bird taking off and in flight. Childhood is a celebration of learning and playing and the overall essence of exploration.

Peace and Harmony
Original Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 30" X 24"
$595
The story behind this painting Peace and Harmony
I used bright colours and a flying bird which I have entitled Peace and Harmony.
Peace is represented by the flying bird who is sharing the message of Peace through Traditional knowledge and wisdom sharing.
The harmony is represented by the eight circles of encompassing bright colours. These circles are giving power to the flying bird. Each circle represents a Teaching and a balance to life's ever present truth. We as human beings need to learn the ways of our Ancestors if we are going to survive.
