Robert says he learned to survive at a young age when he was forced to attend a residential school at age four. After a decade there, Robert found work in the woods as a logging contractor and heavy machinery mechanic.

He now hopes to use his art to inspire others to pursue their passions, heal the community, and express his life story.
