Talented artists on their own, I don't know how I would manage without them.
Inspired by the Ojibway heritage of my children, I began creating the Manitou pieces many years ago. My interest in all things esoteric has led me to explore shamanism, totemism, mysticism, Taoism, Zen, Sufism, Animism, nature, reality, dreaming, metaphysics, Kevinism as a life path which are all more or less reflected in my work. Basically, a learn as you go, organic way of being which shuns dogma and indoctrination to any specific belief system and embraces unfiltered experience that doesn't require interpretation. Gathering, condensing, focusing, and co-creating.
I attended a small liberal arts college where I studied Art under the guidance of Paul Hubinsky and Philosophy with an emphasis on Eastern Religion under the tutelage of T.P. Kasulis who had previously designed and taught courses at Harvard and Yale. (Now, I bet you're really impressed!) Taoism and Zen mostly. Originally from a working-class neighborhood on the Arthur Kill, Sewaren, New Jersey, surrounded by oil refineries, industrial pollution, chemical waste, garbage, and other lovely by-products of our exploding population, I've spent more than the latter half of my life so far here in the 'north country'. A lot less traffic!
Tanner ‘s native heritage is from the Turtle Clan of the Grand Portage Band of Ojibway, on his mother’s side, whose grandmothers on both sides were full Anishinabe as well as a great grandfather who was half Cree. He is very involved in his family heritage, spending time at his grandmother's cabin on the reservation, attending Pow Wows, and taking part in traditional activities, such as harvesting wild rice, and creating native crafts. I love my kids very much and am extremely proud of them both!!
