Christian Morrisseau

Christian was born on December 11, 1969 and raised in Red Lake, Ontario. Christian is the youngest of seven children and the son of the renowned Woodland artist, Norval & Harriet Morriseau.

Christian follows in his father's artistic footsteps and is an accomplished artist in his own right. His love of this style of art was traditionally passed down to him by his father, Norval, who in turn learned from his grandfather, whose name was Potan. Potan was a well known and respected traditional Shaman.

Christian spent four months learning and listening to his father's teachings and began painting in May 2002. He wanted to celebrate his gift and keep the Morriseau's family traditions and stories alive. Christian paints in the Woodland style, which was developed by his father Norval Morriseau.

There are many followers including Christian that paint in the Woodland style. Christian paints animal images, landscapes, his father and children, his tradition, his legends. Christian is developing his artistic gifts with intensity, discipline and passion. He is a producer and his works sell well in many markets. Christian sold his first painting to the INNAC. It was purchased by Minister Robert Nault as a gift presentation for the historical treaty signing between the Inuit and the Government of Canada in October of 2002.
