Arthur Shilling Born: Rama Reserve, Ontario 1941-1986 Canadian Native - Ojibwa Arthur Shilling attended the New School of Art and the Ontario College of Art and in 1967, was presented with the Canadian Centennial Medal. The expression of his works are influenced from his unique Ojibway heritage. Arthur Shilling was born in 1941, into a family of 13 children. His childhood was spent on the Rama Reserve, by the shores of Lake Couchiching, Ontario. At age ten, forced to stay at home because of rheumatic fever, the young Shilling began painting to pass the time. Shilling's evolution as a portrait artist is traced from his move to Toronto in 1960, where he soon became known in art circles. In 1976, open-heart surgery forced him to re-evaluate his life and artistic goals. Following his release from hospital, he returned to the reserve to realize his life-long dream--to build a studio and art gallery for his people. Shilling's art has been described as expressionist*.
