Unbreakable Spirit
I have been pain�ng for more than 25 years and am mostly self‐taught. Much of my work is based on personal reec�on and observa�on surrounding the spirituality of my People and the energy around us. My roots are with the Blood Tribe in southern Alberta, and although I was raised in “the big city,” my family exerted a strong inuence on me early in my life, which led me to an apprecia�on of Indigenous culture, teachings and ar�s�c tradi�ons. My grandparents—both very talented ar�sts known interna�onally for their bead work and tradi�onal regalia—inspired and encouraged me to seek out my own path, and to work hard at whatever challenge I took on. ~ Kalum Teke Dan
