Where has the time gone? This winter hasn't seen a lot of painting, you know, the usual excuses of having a job, family, small tiny house, etc etc. not leaving much time or will for art-making. ... but it still happens on a small scale. However, it's all good (especially with all the running, hiking and snowshoeing that got done).
I've recently had the good fortune to have works bought for a couple of major collections. The Glenbow Museum purchased Big Rivers (2006) from its exhibition Honouring Tradition, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts purchased Magpie (2006) and two paintings from the Constellations Series entitled Island and Mainland (2006), and Mini Sosa (2008).
Mini Sosa was completed last summer, featuring the Indigenous communities and populations of the upper Missouri River (Mini Sosa in Lakota).
I'm proud to announce that INAC's Indian Art Centre in Ottawa has updated their collection with the purchase of Ksisaskatchewan from the Constellations Series of paintings.
Ksisaskatchewan celebrates Indigenous presence in what are currently the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Modern urban, rural, and rez populations are highlighted in Cree, Blackfoot, Tsuu T'ina, Ktunaxa, Nakoda, Dunne-za, Metis, Saulteaux, Denesuline, Nakota and Dakota countries.
Ksisaskatchewan is the fourth Canadien painting to be added to the INAC collection. See their website at www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/art/art
