Native artist Christin Dennis uses a mixed media approach in his work. Combining photography, watercolour, ink, drawing, and various printing techniques, he creates a body of work that explores and embraces his Chippewa heritage. Christin Dennis majored in fine art at Georgian College in Owen Sound. Ontario. He studied art history as well as exploring drawing, painting, sculpture, and graphic art.
He later learned photography through an apprenticeship under Canadian Master of Photographic Arts Michael McLuhan, the son of Marshall McLuhan. Photography became not only an important artistic medium for Christin , it also became a means of documenting and exploring the people, sites, and events of significance to his Chippewa identity.
