Textile Artist
Visual artist
Gregory Mitchell is a Mi’kmaq artist whose artwork primarily focuses on examining the relationship between humans and nature, through the lenses of his Mi’kmaq heritage and Canadian upbringing.
Eastern Thunderbird
This artwork is a thunderbird drawn in a style to look like Mi’kmaq petroglyphs. The thunderbird is yellow to represent the Eastern direction of the medicine wheel, and the stars represent the astrology seen in petroglyphs. This illustration combines my bold visual style that bridges traditional Mi’kmaq motifs with contemporary design.
