I was born in North Battleford, Saska-tchewan, in 1956 of Ojibway, French- Canadian and European ancestry, and grew up in the North before my family moved to Ottawa in the 1960’s. My father was the first aboriginal Member of Parliament and my family members include painters, film makers, musicians and radio personalities.

Since completing my schooling I have pursued a career as an artist in various disciplines including oil painting, song writing, music and interior designer. Music and songwriting were my prime pursuits in the 1980’s concurrent with painting for private buyers and commissions, including the Royal Ontario Museum.
