This painting tells the story of my Indigenous heritage.
My people originated from Lake Superior and eventually settled on Rice Lake. When I travelled for those two weeks in Northern Ontario, I had an immediate sense of coming home despite never having been there. That is why I say that my spirit lives here. And I titled this piece "I Envy The Winds" because if I could ride on the breeze then I would be able to visit this place any time that I wanted.
