Clemence Wescoupe was a prominent Canadian painter and printmaker. He was born at the Long Plain Reserve in Manitoba in 1951 of Saulteaux background. His native name was “Ozaa-Bines”, which means “Brown Thunderbird”. Wescoupe was largely self-taught and began to paint in 1971.
Wescoupe was a founder of the Woodland School of Art alongside fellow artist and friends Norval Morrisseau, Daphne Odjig, Jackson Beardy and Carl Ray. Wecoupe saw much success – his iconic image, Rainbirds, which came out in 1977 was one of the most popular and successful Woodland Aboriginal prints ever created.
