History: I believe Gabriel Dumont was a Hero of epic proportions. What is known of his qualities are too numerous to list, but a few of them are that he was a leader who demonstrated loyalty, who was brave and calm in the face of adversity, a champion of aboriginal rights, a voice of wise council, and a hero to the Canadian Metis. It is an honor to depict him in my art.
Inspiration: I have always believed that real heroes seldom get the acknowledgement they deserve. It is my intent to pay respect to these heroes by depicting then in my art.
