Isadore Wadow was born in
Beardmore, Ontario
in 1951, the son of Albert and Katherine Wadow. The family lived on Lake Nipigon and at
Caramat, Ontario
. He was before his untimely death a relatively unknown artist in the Woodland School of Native Art. Isadore who never married, maintained himself by selling his stylized art along the north
shore
of
Lake Superior
and in
Thunder Bay
. In this pursuit he was moderately successful and many homes and business’s in the north have his work. He was a consummate guitarist and could play proficiently by the time he was seven years old. He played the fiddle as well. A shy individual with sunny disposition, Isadore lived close to the poverty line as he peddled his paintings. It was on the eve of his first public exhibition “Wabaada-iwewin”, a group showing an acquisition for the
Thunder Bay
Art
Gallery
, which was his final hour. He was staying in a
Thunder Bay
hotel when he was knifed on the street and died on arrival in the hospital on June 24, 1984. His death is one of many unsolved cases in the
Thunder Bay
area.
