Title: SAVAGE
Medium: Acrylic paint, spray paint, and marker on upcycled canvas
Price: $1200
About:
“For years, I loved our sunsets and was always drawn to birds and muskrats. Looking back at the paintings now, I’ve learned that I’m bird Anishinabe and Cree muskrat, and so my calling to paint them before I knew this about myself makes a lot of sense.
Growing up, I always heard these comments like “savage” or other words in offensive tones said to me that I never understood. And as I now understand those not-so-nice words I heard over the decades, I realized what they meant. As you can imagine, being called those savage heathens never sat well inside of me, and so I’ve always turned to painting as a way of speaking my truth and healing away!!”
