Introducing our first artist-in-residence, Cody Ho

Introducing our first artist-in-residence, Cody Houle of @houlefineart. ⁠
⁠
Cody Houle is an Anishinaabe artist from Northern Ontario, Canada, currently residing in Brantford. ⁠
⁠
A self-taught painter, Houle didn’t realize he enjoyed this particular art form until he had already created multiple pieces at the age of 31. Though drawn to abstract visuals it is the woodland paintings that resonate most for Houle and his sense of his culture. Growing up in northern Ontario, Houle felt shame and guilt surrounding his Native identity; now, his art allows him to show pride and strength in being an Indigenous man. Houle believes it is important to share art to inspire hope and encourage anyone to create.⁠
⁠
“In my work, I want to continue to discover the artist I can be. I want to continue to push the boundaries of what is thought to be indigenous art. Capturing nature through my eyes, exploring emotions through abstracts, and telling my own personal story through my woodland art.” - Cody Houle⁠
⁠
Cody’s studio will be set up in the Judy Harris Gallery for the entire duration of our “Moving Forward: The Next 50 Years” exhibition, running until January 28. Come and visit the museum before the exhibition ends and you might be lucky enough to catch Cody at work! If you share a photo on social media, you can visit our front desk for a special gift.
