Clemence Wescoupe (1951–2018), a Saulteaux artist from Long Plain First Nation, was a founding member of the Woodland School of Art. Known for his graceful, flowing lines and stylized forms, Wescoupe developed his signature style after years of self-teaching. His iconic piece, Rainbirds (1977), became one of the most popular Woodland Aboriginal prints. Wescoupe’s work was featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Canada, Europe, and the U.S., including shows at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the University of Heidelberg. His art, focused on spiritual guardianship and nature, is held in several prestigious collections, including the Canadian Museum of History and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
