Don’s Original Art

Don was taught the traditional forms of the Ojibway peoples by his Uncles. These forms have lived in Anishinabek territory for all time. They are both simple and complex. Originally used as a communication system in hunting and prayer, these forms can be read and share both pragmatic and abstract ideas. Don was also taught Mark and image making after his Adoption by the Dangeli family of the Nisga’a Nation. For Don, these images are both sacred and secular.

His work has appeared in shows in Europe, Australia, and across Canada
