The above mural was painted for SAY Magazine, a First Nations magazine located on Logan Avenue in Winnipeg during the summer of 2015.  I was still painting the Jack Daniel’s mural while I was drawing this one out.  I remember I was furiously in debt and needed to paint faster, to make more money.  The field represents the treaty land which was originally owned by First Nations people but signed over unknowingly in a disputable deal.  People on the inside of this circle represent many of the positive stories of local and international Aboriginals; letting go of their past and moving forward despite great odds.
