Freddy Taylor
Freddy Taylor, of Curve Lake, Ontario, spent ten unhappy years at the Mohawk Institute, a Native Residential School, in Brantford, Ontario. He suffered the loss of his native language along with memories of family and background. The cultural differences he found upon returning to Curve Lake at the age of sixteen were too extreme and he remained at odds with his people, the law and himself for years.
But when he turned his attention to the art of his people, Freddy Taylor discovered a talent that even years of Residential School had not managed to extinguish. Over time, the angry images into which he poured his outrage and hurt evolved to depict a journey of healing and hope. Now the animals you see in his paintings bring peace and strength to this once-troubled artist.
