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.”
