Description
12" x 14" William Monague's "Northern Lights" Framed Art Print

William Anthony Monague, a self-taught artist from the Beausoleil First Nation, grew up on a secluded island without access to formal education or artistic training. Known as "Abwaudung" (The Visionary or Dreamer), Monague found inspiration in the traditional teachings of Mother Earth, the Spirit World, and the natural beauty surrounding him on the shores of Georgian Bay. Initially immersed in the woodland style, he eventually crafted his own contemporary artistic style.

In the 1970s and 80s, Monague, along with his family, traversed the Pow Wow circuit in a van, journeying down to Mexico. Along the way, his artwork found its way into various museums and galleries. Monague actively donates his time and artwork to numerous charitable causes, emphasizing a commitment to helping others. Reflecting on his artistic journey, he notes, "I feel my art speaks to my culture. I have made a name for myself with my work and reputation, but it has taken a long time." Even after 45 years of painting, he continues his artistic lifelong journey with his family.

His Art Studio is housed in his century-old family home in downtown Midland, Ontario, situated not far from the shores of Georgian Bay. The essence of "Sharing Anishnabek Culture through the Spirit of Color" permeates his creative endeavors.
