Mike Alexander

Mike Alexander is an Anishinaabe artist from Swan Lake First Nation in Manitoba. His work draws on Ojibway symbolism, his personal journey, and his reconnection to culture and family. He says creating art brings him peace and fulfillment as he reflects on his life and experiences.

Mike looks to his ancestors for inspiration, knowing they created art for future generations. “I am inspired by the thought that my people made paintings with me and my survival in mind,” he says.

Alongside his visual art, Mike writes poetry and articles that have appeared in several magazines.

In 2020, he began apprenticing with master Woodland artist Mark Anthony Jacobson.

Mike has shown his work in many solo and group exhibitions, starting with his first show in 2017 in Victoria, BC, which highlighted his passion for high‑contrast black‑and‑white ink drawings.

For Mike, Woodland art is deeply traditional and spiritual. As a survivor of the Sixties Scoop, he explains, “It’s about stories and teachings that I didn’t have growing up.”
