Roy Thomas, (1949-2004) was an Ahnisnawbe (Ojibway) artist, born in 1949, who had devoted a great deal of time to learning about the ways of his people, their teachings, and the ways of nature. While he was basically a self-taught artist, he was guided by the memories of his Ahnisnawbe elders who taught him what to paint. He was also inspired by the presence of rock paintings on Long Lac in the northwestern region of Ontario where he grew up. During his 25 years of painting, Roy had presented his art in 10 one-man shows in Toronto, Montreal and Thunder Bay, and had participated in numerous group shows in various parts of the country. Roy Thomas last resided and worked in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
