Known for creating culturally rich imagery and his use of in your face high chroma color, George Littlechild is recognized as one of the foremost First Nations artists working in Canada today. He is also the author / illustrator of three children's books including the award winning publication, This Land is My Land.

He was born August 16, 1958 in Edmonton, Alberta and knew from a young age that he had a special talent as an artist to share with the world. His mother Rachel Littlechild was a Plains Cree member of the Erminskin Reserve in Hobbema, and his father, James E Price was of Scottish / Micmac extraction from New Brunswick.

From the age of five until he was eighteen, George Littlechild lived with his foster mother, Mrs. Winnie Olthius. She was a very caring person and is largely responsible for nurturing his artistic and creative abilities. As a youngster, she sent him to art lessons and encouraged him to pursue his art throughout his school years and insisted he go to art college when he graduated. His post-secondary educational achievements include a diploma in Art and Design from Red Deer College and in 1988 he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax.

In recent years, George Littlechild's interest in his heritage has led him to relearn his past and explore many sociopolitical issues related to his people including the Reserve system and Residential schooling. His art is directed to those who do not understand First Nations culture in an attempt to alleviate prejudice and naivete. More importantly, he hopes his work contributes to stopping racism which he feels is on of the most destructive forces of our modern society.

Since 1988, his art work has been exhibited in numerous solo group exhibitions in commercial and public galleries and museums in Canada, the United States, Japan and in Germany. His work is also included in numerous public, corporate and private collections including the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec, the Edmonton Art Gallery, the Thunder Bay Art Gallery and in the Dunlop Gallery in Regina, Saskatchewan.
