Lorne Julien
Lorne Alexander Julien is a proud Mi’kmaw artist and member of Millbrook First Nation, We’kopekitk, Nova Scotia. He specializes in contemporary Indigenous acrylic paintings and murals. His Mi’kmaw name is “Warrior on the Hill” (Sma'knis) which was given to him in his youth when he learned about the spiritual way of his people
He is a self-taught artist, beginning as a young child. He specializes in rich vibrant colours and believes simplicity is beautiful. Lorne wants to share his artwork, lifting people’s spirits, with ideas taken from his visions and dreams.
Lorne creates murals in schools, institutions and public spaces to support the creation of safe spaces that are inclusive, respectful and honour Canada’s Indigenous people. He believes that incorporating Indigenous art in public spaces is a simple act of reconciliation and moving forward in a spirit of mutual respect and understanding.
His artwork is a form of prayer, it provides healing for himself and he would like to bring healing to the world. His intention is to inspire hope and balance within the universe.
We are happy to welcome you at our booth in July at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair! We will have a good selection of paintings and also a few painted original hand crafted drums.
