Welcoming Artist Thomas Sinclair

Canvas Gallery is excited to introduce Thomas Sinclair who recently joined us. A First Nations artist, Thomas is from Sault Ste. Marie and he has brought us 3 beautiful new pieces. Each piece tells us a wonderful story, and we're in love with his style, vibrant colours & subject matter.

Thomas is wearing his own beadwork, leatherwork and headdress that he created himself, a truly talented artist and rightly proud of his heritage. He also illustrates gorgeous adult colouring books.
