"I wanted the pieces to reflect not the stereotype of what people think a native person looks like, but focus on representations of people who are fiercely proud of their culture...My community is full of beautiful, interesting people." -Nelson White Art businessandartsnl.com/blog/spotlight…

My friend Gordon Sparks makes these incredible masks. I asked him if I could paint them. He said I could if they spoke to me, which they did. They told me to be joyful. The Proposal is 48 x 36 oil on canvas . #art #indigenousart #nativeamericanart #nativecontemporaryart

I had this canvas, which has had 4 different paintings on none worked, so it got whited over, and I tried something else. But, it was a big (expensive) canvas, and I didn't want to waste it. Think it's found the final iteration. "Building Cubicles" is 48" x 36" oil on canvas

"Have you got any Guns?" 48" x 36" oil on canvas. The title has to do with the tradition of storytelling. Rarely a gathering happens without stories and laughter. Conversation is part of community. I also felt the need to remember my dog, because...well.. Dogs #canadianart
