Continuing to expand my creativity and new innovation pushing the boundaries of the entire woodland school of art into the future…

 

Title of painting: All souls know who I am. (Tribute to our Creator) size: 48 x 72 inches

Good morning to everyone and a special thank you for all the appreciation and support that I get behind the scenes. Lots of people stand in solidarity with me and in a time where colonialism is still running rampant throughout Canada and in all our First Nations communities, we still continue moving forward a day at a time. We must and this has been the cornerstone of my daily spiritual walk. I communicate with our Creator each and every day. I seek its wisdom, truth and inspiration about how to walk as best I can while remaining truthful and transparent. This journey of life has not been easy by any means for many of you including myself but I feel that we eventually get to a place where Creator spirit is the only way moving forward. I came to a place within myself over 26 years ago where I truly surrendered to the Creator. That my way wasn’t working. That self power wasn’t enough. A spiritual experience. An utter transformation within the mind, body, heart and spirit. I haven’t had a drink since. 

It’s been an absolutely fascinating ride ever since. Like peeling away the layers and getting into the core of who you really are. A spectacular power that resides within. Creator consciousness or God consciousness as many religions of the world would say. Operating from this place is who I truly am. That doesn’t mean to stand back and just let life happen. My will is like a creative instrument. My inner force guided by principles. Much like being an agent of the Creators will. Being of service to others is where real growth and change takes place. Like that old saying: actions speak louder than words. 

Title: The divine elements of creation within the God mind. Size: 48 x 84 inches. 

I’m proud to walk my talk as best I can through this unique mindset and personal relationship with source. My culture obviously plays a major role and although I fall short at times, I continue to put one foot in front of the other. My spirit is steadfast and cannot be broken. I will not change my values to suit your needs. I will represent everything that I am. No excuses and no filter in being honest and genuine. I’m not governed by man in that sense. I am a warrior for truth and justice. My heart feels right about how I do things. Others may struggle with my levels, but rest assured I come to correct things. I come to shine the light. I am a knowledge keeper of this art form and I have a duty to my people to help shine the path forward. That is truly the standard here at Jacobson native art. 
Title of paintings: Chiefs of the future. (series 3 and series 4) Woodland A.I. 

My new indigenous art genre is the way into the future for me. An incredible new path filled with such wild imagination and creative innovation. I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s so transformative and moves the woodland school into the future like no one else. It’s that deadly to me and I’m so inspired by this new breath of fresh air. I just recieved 11 new image prompts and have drawn out 3 this weekend. I’ll post these soon as I’ll be making time for them next week. Still busy with commissions and designing new collections with little giant productions in Kaslo BC. We are looking forward to sharing new releases throughout 2025. In the meantime I’ll share more in the near future and thank you once again for being apart of my creative journey. More to come…all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ
