At the age of three, he and his two older sisters were adopted and raised in Prince Edward Island as part of the Sixties Scoop.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHis adoptive parents encouraged his early interest in drawing and surrounded the family with art. As a young adult, Rombough began searching for his birth family and eventually found his father, Alfred Catholique, in Łutsel K’e on the eastern shore of Great Slave Lake. He moved north and spent seven years there, learning from his father and reconnecting with his Dene family, culture and the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat return changed his art. Rombough had been working mainly in black ink, but life in the North led him toward the vivid colour that now defines his paintings. A self-taught contemporary Woodland painter, he uses strong black lines, geometric forms and northern imagery influenced by Norval Morrisseau and the Native Group of Seven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eRombough often works on twenty or thirty paintings at once, allowing each composition to develop without a fixed plan. Animals, ancestors, tree lines, faces within rock formations and the changing seasons emerge as he works. He describes painting as a way to express what comes from his heart and to give back to his Dene culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe also teaches and mentors young people throughout the Northwest Territories, encouraging them to discover their own creative expression and maintain a connection to their culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe revised ending keeps the relationship between art, youth and culture, but does not explain his motivation beyond what we can support.\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=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eJohn Rombough describes \u003cem\u003eBear\u003c\/em\u003e as an early spring scene:\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The bear in his elements is walking alongside grandfather rocks.
