Eugene
Alexis is from Alexis Nakoda Sioux Nation located on the shores of
Lac.St.Anne, 72 kilometers west of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He
graduated from Onoway Jr. & Sr. High School in 1985 and then went
on to study art at the Alberta College of Art in Calgary, Alberta.
Eugene’s
passion in painting is focused on “Cultural and Spiritual” art. He
first became interested in art at the age of eight when he started by
drawing sketches of horses, animals, and landscapes. At the age of
thirteen he began painting and has never stopped since then.
To
show appreciation to his grandfather and in an effort to preserve the
history of his Nakoda Sioux (Stoney) Culture, Eugene applies his “Gift”
of painting stories on canvas for future generations to enjoy.
Because
of his artwork, he traveled nationally and internationally to countries
such as Europe, South America, and the United States where some of his
paintings were sold. In addition, some of the paintings are displayed
locally at the Yellowhead Tribal College, Confederacy of Treaty Six
Office, Alexis First Nations School, Hall and the Multi-Center.
Eugene’s
other interest includes round dance singing and making songs taught by
his late father Logan Alexis. The “Logan Alexis Singers” won a
national award from the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards for the Best
Traditional Album: Historical (2001) for “Round dance Time”.
He
enjoys traveling to other First Nation communities attending round
dances, spiritual and social functions with his family. He is also a
well known master of ceremonies at various social events.
In
closing, Eugene is a full time Stoney Language Instructor at the Alexis
First Nation School helping to maintain the culture, spirituality, and
language in the community.
