John Laford, born in 1954, is an Ojibway artist from Manitoulin Island, Ontario. He has thoroughly studied his culture and studied art at Algonquin College in Pembroke, Ontario. He has also studied pottery in New Mexico and the old pictographs, or rock paintings of his ancestors. Although he sees himself as a self-taught artist, these studies have brought him social awareness, leading to an openness towards many ancient and contemporary styles. His paintings can be found in museums across Canada, the United States, Australia, and in numerous private collections.
