His connection to art began early, during a childhood marked by separation from his family. A Sixties Scoop survivor, Oskineegish was removed from his home at the age of five and grew up in foster care. Drawing became a way to express himself long before art became his profession.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOskineegish initially worked in Surrealism, but as an adult began reconnecting more deeply with his Anishinaabe identity and turned toward the Woodland tradition. Around 2005, he sent three of his early Woodland paintings to Norval Morrisseau, the Anishinaabe artist who founded the Woodland School. Morrisseau encouraged him to continue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWoodland art uses bold outlines, vivid areas of colour and forms within forms to make relationships, stories and spiritual ideas visible. Oskineegish has developed that visual language in his own way, drawing on the legends and stories of his people while also bringing elements of Surrealism and contemporary culture into his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFor Oskineegish, art is ultimately about connection. He wants his work to share Anishinaabe culture while reaching people through ideas of love, faith and unity.
