Stephen Snake (1966 | Canadian)
Snake was born on the Chippewas of Rama First Nations in Orillia, Ontario. He was influenced by his mother’s cousin Arthur Shilling, who helped him refine his talent at a young age and exposed him to the works of Norval Morrisseau, who became another prominent influence on his work. 
Snake held his first exhibition at the Woodland Cultural Center in Brantford, ON in 1989. He became well known for his portraits of Chiefs and Warriors of North America along with portraits of other Native Artists including Arthur Shilling and Norval Morrisseau - which hangs in the Maslak Gallery in Yorkville, Toronto. 
Along with his portraits he also continues to paint in the Woodland style developed by Norval Morrisseau. He has a studio in Rama and one on Bear Island, Lake Temagami where he paints majestic landscapes of the north in his own distinctive, impressionistic style that resonates the spirituality of the land.
