Vendor Biography

Cody Houle is an Anishinaabe/french artist from Northern Ontario, Canada. His indigenous family are from saugeen First Nation. A self-taught painter, Houle didn’t realize he enjoyed this particular art form until he had already created multiple pieces at the age of 31. Though drawn to abstract visuals it is the woodland paintings that resonate most for Houle and his sense of his culture. Growing up in northern Ontario, Houle felt shame and guilt surrounding his Native identity; now, his art allows him to show pride and strength in being an Indigenous man. Houle believes it is important to share art to inspire hope and encourage anyone to create.
