KLEINBURG, ON – Donald Chretien’s “Tree of Life” beamed like a spotlight through the crowd of people parading past exhibits at an Oct. 18 juried art show at the McMichael Gallery.
The brilliant colours used by the Nipissing First Nation citizen stood out in the crowd.
“I’ve already sold many of the smaller pieces,” he said, motioning to a series of sepia ink drawings representing Anishinaabe dodems, or clans. The show had only opened its doors 20 minutes earlier.
