First Nations Woodland artist Simone McLeod was on campus today with her brother Artist Cliff Dubois, who is painting a buffalo mural on our Teaching Preparation Centre wall. One of Simone’s works, “Hands of Friendship,” is hanging in our Faculty Lounge. She was pleased to see it again. She painted this work in 2001 and notes the differences in her artwork from then to now. Her colours were more pastel in this work (now she uses more vibrant colours) and she was using a watercolour paper. Simone has been painting for 20 years. More of her work is exhibited online at http://www.fisherstarcreations.com/simonemcleod-acrylics
