Speaker: Dave Pelletier: The Stories that inspired his paintings.

Dave used a PowerPoint to show his paintings while he described how his imagination, ideas, and use of vivid colours came to be. “Turtle Island is a recurring subject in Pelletier’s works, a reference to various Aboriginal origin or creation stories where the turtle carries North America or the world on its back, becoming a symbol of life and a “marker of identity, culture and a deeply held respect for the environment.”
