Dear Sir/Madam,

The goals of my artistic career are, to provoke thought, display spiritual energy, show diversity through the medicine wheel/star, incorporate ancient Mi'kmaq Petroglyphs and Hieroglyphs into my pieces, and help preserve the Mi’kmaq culture.  My main objective is to blend, both, conventional and unconventional techniques together in a vibrant way.  Whether my collections are traditional or contemporay, they all have the same purpose: to preserve Mi'kmaq culture for future generations.  My art focusses on cultural and environmental preservation so I can help people understand the meanings behind our symbols, designs, and carvings in stone.  Some of the themes prevalent in my work are the acknowledgement of Mi’kmaq pride, unity, joy, peace, honor, spirituality, and love.

Through my publications, artwork, art shows, commissions, visual arts teaching, and volunteer experience, I have gained valuable artistic insight and perspective.  I hope that you have enjoyed my online Mi'kmaq Art Gallery, and I really appreciated your visit.  

Thank - you (Wela'lin) for your time and patience.   

Sincerely,

Marcus Gosse

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

The mandate of my artistic career, is to provoke thought, display spiritual energy, and preserve the Mi’kmaq culture of  Mi‘kmaki (The Mi‘kmaq Territory).  My goal is to blend, both, conventional and unconventional techniques together in a vibrant way.  Whether my collections are abstract, realistic, or impressionistic, they all have the same purpose: To preserve native culture for future generations.  My art centers around cultural and environmental preservation, so people now, and in the future, can see our life realistically, instead of virtually.  Some of the themes prevalent in my work are the acknowledgement of Mi’kmaq pride, unity, joy, peace, honor, spirituality, and love.

 

Through my publications, artwork, art shows, commissions, visual art teaching, and volunteer experience, I have gained valuable artistic insight and perspective.  It would be greatly appreciated if I was given the opportunity to display my work with other respected artists in your gallery. 

 

Thank - you for your time and patience.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Marcus Gosse
