b. 1929, Red Pheasant Reserve, Saskatchewan. A descendant of Chief Red Pheasant (for whom his home reserve is named) and the eminent Cree leader Poundmaker, Allen Sapp's education was traditional. As childhood illnesses pre-empted mainstream schooling, Sapp was mostly self-taught. He began painting professionally in the late 1960s, studying for a period with noted Saskatchewan artist Wynona Mulcaster. Developed in part from dream imagery, his paintings are invaluable documents of Northern Plains Cree culture as well as visionary encapsulations of a particular Cree worldview. In 1975, Sapp was named an Associate of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art and was presented with the Order of Canada in 1987. Learn more about Allen on his website allensapp.com
