Abstract
This thesis explores the artistic imagery and history of the Metis Artist Bob Boyer from 1971 to the present. The background research examines his visual artistic connection of the contemporary and traditional cultural imagery. Many written, oral and visual examples were used for this research. The purpose of this research is to identify and compare Boyer's use of traditional symbols expressed in a contemporary form and my own artistic methods including painting, photography, drawing and print making. Recommendations for future research include: a methodical comparison of other artists and media styles and an exploration of Native Peoples' symbols used beyond their traditional heritage.
