"It is this language of the spirit that I try to communicate in the images I create, our relationships with the animals, with the birds, with the fish and all of humanity. It is the experience of my ancestors that have inspired the stories and legends of the Ojibway people."

In all honour of our mothers on planet earth, This painting reflects the respect for all that woman do. The task of being the care giver and teacher to all our children is a spiritual sacrifice not easily followed by some of the most spectacular mothers on the planet, Mother earth herself, truly is the example of all woman to follow . Her spirit of charity and her abilities to continouesly nurture all of creation is indeed inspiring to all of humanity. It is a blessing to state and witness the female power in all that we do and in all that we are. To all woman I say Chi-Meegwetch, All my relations
