Live Portrait Painting begins at noon!
Raised in rural Southern Ontario, Hilton Henhawke (Mohawk/Seneca), moved to Toronto in 1980. He worked as an industrial painter, providing for his children, but this environment had negative health impacts on him and gave very little space for creativity. Hilton enrolled in OCAD in 1995 and hasn’t looked back since then. Developing a truly unique style, Hilton continues to create beautiful impactful work. Henhawke explores his themes in in acrylic, oil, watercolour, pen and ink, among other materials. He does not confine his work to obvious Native ideology and symbols. Some of his art is symbolic and abstract, while other pieces are realistic and representational. Each of Hilton’s art pieces has its own story and often this accompanies the art piece.
