George has said that his work reflects both the blessings of his culture and its “inner pains and suffering.” His art draws from nature and Ojibway traditions, while also carrying personal experience, cultural memory and the pain that forms part of that history. \u003cbr\u003eThe result is work that can appear joyful and almost carefree at first glance, while holding experiences of suffering, healing and reconnection beneath the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003e \u003csmall class=\"right\"\u003e+\u003c\/small\u003e Behind the Artwork \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHummingbirds are often associated with joy, beauty and resilience, while flowers carry ideas of growth and renewal.
