George Littlechild is a Plains Cree artist who has lived in
the Comox Valley for over 20 years. Since graduating
with a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree from the Nova Scotia
College of Art and Design in 1988, George has shown
work in numerous solo and group exhibitions across
Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia.
“I began to create art as a small boy. My foster mother
saw that I had a talent at a very young age. She was
encouraging, loving… She saw the gift in me. Scribblers
were filled, art lessons began at an early age… Art
school, exhibition and books, lectures, and teaching.
In my work, I am committed to righting the wrongs that
First Nations peoples have endured by creating art that
focuses on cultural, social and political injustices. As an
artist, educator and cultural worker, my goal is a better
world. It is my job to show the pride, strength and
beauty of First Nations people and cultures, and
contribute to the betterment of mankind.”

Jenja McIntyre

I am a Metis artist with Sarcee and Cree roots. I was born
Jennifer McIntyre near the Rocky Mountains, but am
known to most by the nickname Jenja. I attended North
Island College where I completed my diploma in Fine
Arts and then went on to graduate at the top of my class
at Emily Carr University in 2011.
Since then, I have been actively programming, teaching,
making and selling art, and doing events/shows
regionally. My current art practice is very much about
the experience of being human, and our relationships
between each other and the environment.
I work in many mediums: drawing, painting, sculpture,
photography, ceramics, and piano are among my
favourite forms of expression. I love that art can bring
together a community and provide so much joy and
fulfillment. Constant in my artwork is the use of bold
color and process-based mark making. To me art is not
only what hangs in a gallery, it is also the moment that
the artist and viewer alike are connected to source.
