Abe Kakepetum
was born in Sandy Lake First Nation in the remote northwestern
region of Ontario, Canada. A member of the Keewaywin First
Nation, he has been painting since he was a child of nine years.
His work depicts images of his culture and his memories
while growing up. He continues to develop his art and teaches
others about the beautiful Spiritual meaning and the traditional
beliefs of his Aboriginal culture.
Abe works closely with renowned fashion designer Linda Lundstrom to create designs
for her La Parka series clothing. He is also a talented
musician and has produced Gospel albums in the past and has recently
produced an audio tape of original
songs and music. Abe's work is acclaimed worldwide.
His medium is acrylic on canvas, Arches paper and is not limited
to these forms. Abe has designed originals on Beaver skulls,
wooden plates, and jewelry made of antlers. He also has
produced limited edition prints which all bear the seal of his
company "Kakekay Fine Arts". Four of these limited
edition prints have now been sold out. For further information
