Aboriginal artist Daphne Odjig of Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve on Manitoulin Island, Ont. now has the honor of having her paintings published as a series of postage stamps.
Canada Post announced Feb. 21 the unveiling of three stamps, each showing a different painting created by the artist.
The three paintings displayed on the stamps are entitled Spiritual Renewal (1984), Pow-wow Dancer (1978), and Pow-wow (1969).
“Canada Post is proud to add the work of this respected Canadian artist to our Art Canada series,” said Jim Philips, director of Stamp Services at Canada Post.
“Daphne Odjig’s colorful palette evokes strength and power.”
