"Mother Earth" by Annette Sullivan
Annette Sullivan (maaskowishiiw fleur) is a professional indigenous artist of Metis and First Nation, as well as older Inuit heritages. Annette studied drawing, painting, and textiles at Beal Art, London, ON Canada. Following that, an internship of billboard painting and a study and employment of commercial art transpired. A successful lengthy career in graphic design ensued. After the passing of family matriarchs, Annette was compelled to paint the stories of native ancestors. Ancestors’ stories reflecting earth wisdom combined with the concept of cultural sustainability are featured in this artist’s works. Annette’s colourful images in the Woodland genre offer insight on topics of historical trauma, community/land placemarks, and indigenous ways of being. For her submission she chose to depict Mother Earth, with sweetgrass in her hair, sitting in a canoe.
