Isaac was a Cree painter, born in 1958 on
the Pas Reserve, 400 miles north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Isaac
moved to Winnipeg, then to Minneapolis and later to
Vancouver, British Columbia.
Outside of a few art classes, Isaac was a self-taught artist
who developed his own style of sponge painting, of wildlife
images distinguished by flowing lines.
"My art is strongly influenced by the traditional ways
of my people. I was brought up to live off the land from an
early age. Hunting and trapping, living in harmony with the
the earth has taught me to respect the animals and the
spirit and power of nature. I hoop dance and sing at Pow
Wows to maintain my cultural heritage. Through art and
dancing I attempt to influence native people to continue
their cultural ways; the gift that was given to us by the
Great Spirit."
Isaace died at the peak of his career, at the age of 37, but
his art remains his legacy.
