À propos

Come watch Linus paint and ask him about his art. He is the 2024 Peace Hills Trust Indigenous Art Contest winner. Linus Woods is a Dakota/ Ojibway artist from the Long Plain First Nation in Southern Manitoba where he was born in 1967. Linus is largely self-taught but has taken art and Native studies courses at Brandon University and has also studied with artists such as Jane Ash Poitras. He sees his paintings as expressions and extensions of his spiritual journey. His work is based on the oral traditions, dreams, stories and legends of his ancestors that he approaches with his own humour. He is also profoundly influenced by nature and his surroundings on the Long Plains Reserve.

Linus brings his images to life using mixed media, mainly acrylics and oils in layered compositions. As such Linus’ works evoke memories of the past yet reflect current political and cultural Indigenous issues.
