Notes:
Randy Trudeau was an Odawa-Ojibwe artist born on Manitoulin Island and was one of the young teenagers who participated in the Manitou Arts Foundation summer workshop on Shreiber Island in 1966. The camp was taught by Daphne Odjig and Carl Ray as part of their committment to introduce native youth to the possibility of an arts career. He was also inspired to paint by Francis Kagige's illustrations for Tales of Nokomis by Patronella Johnston. In the anishnabemowin tradition was also a story teller. Trudeau attended summer programs at Laurentian University, Sudbury, and was a cultural assistant at Wikwemikong schools for two years. His artistic style is distinguished by tonal form lines in four parallel bands of colour and he has his own unique method of depicting spirit beings.
