Kevin Belmore

Gull Bay artist Kevin Belmore’s Ojibway name is Minowewegebon, which means “standing free”. Kevin is a disciple of the late Roy Thomas, who in turn was inspired by Norval Morrisseau, one of the founders of the Woodland School of Ojibway art and a member of the Aboriginal Group of Seven. This style of painting captures the spiritual tradition as it shines through the everyday, and is now practiced by several First Nation artists in Northwestern Ontario.
