My name is John Sailors and I am a Moose Cree First Nations Artist. I am located in Parry Sound, Ontario. I am promoting my work through this page as well as participating in upcoming local events. I am available to create commission pieces upon request. Contact me at (705) 380- 3450 or email [email protected] and we can discuss how I can create a piece of art or audio documentar
y to suit your needs and interests. My manager is my partner Michelle Ainsworth who will be in touch to coordinate. Born in Moose Factory, Ontario, I grew up connecting with my Moose Cree culture and heritage. I was raised in both Huntsville, Ontario (I moved there when I was 5) and Moose Factory (I would spend a large majority of my time there). I have recently moved to Parry Sound to be in a more heavily populated Indigenous community in which we can raise our family in. The experiences of being raised on a reservation as well as in a small Muskoka community helped shape me to be connected with nature, music and my heritage. As a First Nations person, I lost some of my culture when I moved to Huntsville and it is through the work that I do and the people that I meet along my journey in art and documentaries that is assisting me in reconnecting with my roots. My work speaks to my experiences living on the reservation and also in a small Muskoka community where there were not many aboriginal people. The goal of my work is to share my journey with interested parties through the development of my artwork, documentaries and more. I will have various paintings, prints, art cards and more for sale in the near future. Please stay tuned for more information, photos of my work, links and more. Miigwetch (Thank you),
John Sailors
