About
Anishinaabe Artist Paula Sayers
Paula B. Sayers Ojibwe name is Miskobii'an, meaning ‘paint it red.' Paula is a member of The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.
Raised in the culture of the Anishinaabeg, She specializes in monochromatic paintings of pictograph images, using natural red earth for the majority of her work.
The artist grew up on the site of the earliest known Ojibwe settlement; Fond Du Lac, an historic location for the Ojibwe between the 16th and 19th centuries.
Her backyard was the original site of an American Fur Company trading post between 1808 and 1847.
When asked about motivation for her art, Paula said;
"...Our spiritual dreams and visions are mostly a private matter however when we receive instruction from the Great Creator pertaining to healing or following a certain path, we must act upon it, or lose those gifts.”
