Gelineau Fisher
Gelineau
Fisher (1951 – 2015) was an Ojibwe artist from the
Longlac First Nation. Gelineau's work was executed in the traditional
woodland style and was influenced by his best friend Roy Thomas. Gelineau
was known for his loons, and his work on birch bark, baskets, paddles, paper
and canvas. He carried strength to further his art, teachings and
storytelling and was seen as an elder whose work is a crucial link in the
Spirit of Woodland Art. As a professional painter since a young age, he
was respected by many and was taught in the Ancestorial Way of the Anishinabe.
Gelineau was featured in the acclaimed film “Woodland Spirits” where he
is visited by Moses Beaver in his studio in the bush. His work can be
found in private collections across Canada.
