REGAN HARDING
Original Painting
Donated by Regan Harding
Reagan Harding, is a Métis
citizen, residing in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. As a youth, I loved to draw; it was my escape from whatever was happening around me. I enjoy realism and painting things that reflect my heritage and unique experiences.
My Mother and Father always collected Indigenous Art when I was growing up, and I was always interested in the story behind the canvas. The story behind this canvas is one of heartbreak and trauma. Residential schools, although forgotten or disregarded by many, are now being uncovered to expose the real dark history of Residential Schools and telling the stories of the survivor’s experience.

CLAIRE LETENDRE
Canvas Print: 36" x 24" - Frame Thickness: 1.5”
Title: Our Hero's Welcome
Donated by Claire Letendre
Donated by Claire Letendre
Claire Letendre is a Mètis artist and entrepreneur who's work goes into to the digital world. She grew up watching her late father, Henry Letendre, a well known Mètis artist who's works were commissioned by many, such as 'No Feather, No Ink" and 'Searching for Henry'. His work is known across North America.
Art and creativity has always been strong in the Letendre family and will be something that Claire will lift, carry, and pass on to the next generation.
She uses her artistic skills in her abstract photography. Using her own photographs, she often creates visions that evoke thought and connections, often drawing from her own experiences or from stories of the past.
There is a meaning behind all her work. Carrying on the Letendre name.

LIANA LETENDRE
Original Painting, acrylic on stretched canvas
Donated by Liana Letendre
Hello, my name is Liana Letendre, recently I have started to paint a series of my take on the traditional Mètis Flower Beadwork by using the dot technique.
My late father Mètis artist Henry Letendre is a huge inspiration for my artwork these days.

JERRY WHITEHEAD
Acrylic on Cavas / Framed
Title: The Right Pathway
Over the years, Jerry Whitehead’s artwork has gone through a number of stages. The one thing that has remained constant throughout this progression is his focus on powwows and powwow dancers.
“Powwow dancers have been an ongoing theme in my work since I began painting. Seeing the dancers as a child had a lasting impression"

KEVIN PEEACE
Original Paintings
3 panels at 8 ft by 2 ft
3 panels at 8 ft by 2 ft
Donated by Carrie Catherine & Curtis Olson
When artist Kevin Peeace becomes engrossed in his work, he creates a piece that tells a story. Although Peeace has created works of art in the forms of sculpting and printmaking, his preference is acrylic on canvas.
He prefers life-sized paintings to diminutive ones, which often come to life after numerous hours of visualizing and projecting.
Many more art pieces and items can be found in our silent auction tables all viewable during the evening ~ here is a sneak peek!
