Rene was born in the railway town of Nakina in northwestern Ontario. After his mother was hospitalized for tuberculosis.- Rene was raised and is deeply influenced by his grandmother, who lived the traditional Ojibway lifestyle.
- He lived with her for several years, speaking the language, hearing the stories and the humour, and learning the songs
- of his people. Years later, he earned a graphic design diploma from Sheridan College.
Rene has found great healing in his art and culture, which has helped him to recover from the abuse of residential school.- His art is his calling - it is who he is and it gives his life meaning, renewal, and joy. Rene's dream is to share his
- God-given talents so that the world may appreciate his Objiway culture and heritage.
