Celebrating Daphne Odjig | Royal Canadian Mint | The Royal Canadian Mint
An exceptional artist and advocate, Daphne Odjig (1919-2016) changed the perception of Indigenous art in Canada. Her decades-spanning career and immense body of work showcase her uniquely self-taught talent; from minimalist fine-line sketches to massive paintings blazed with bold colour, Odjig’s art continues to inspire and move those who experience it today.
