Randy Thomas

Randy Thomas - 1988

Randy Thomas is an Ojibwe/Cree. His roots stem from Sucker Creek First Nation, Alberta to Long Lac First Nation in Northern Ontario. Randy was born in March 1988 in St. Albert, Alberta. Randy was educated in Thunder Bay, Ontario. His artistic roots come from his father who was a renowned Woodland painter Roy Thomas.

Randy has always practiced his talent through the years with the encouragement from his mother and father. Randy states, “My dad made sure there was art material available for me and my brother” Randy would watch his father paint, sometimes even painting alongside him. Randy cherishes the teachings and time spent with his father.

“For the past few years it’s been on my mind to get back into my art. I felt a need to be closer to my father.” Randy now spends his time painting and drawing in the traditional styles; following in the Footsteps of his late father.

Randy recently awarded a commission to produce a series of drawings to be part of a new architectural feature, the Celebration Circle in the Spirit Garden at Prince Arthur's Landing. Thunder Bay's new waterfront development.

Randys' interpretation of the competition theme, which placed emphasis on sharing, peaceful co-existence and regard for the natural world, ultimately won him the award. To honour his father and mentor, Randy chose to include Roy's work "Lifegivers" as part of this work of art.
