Born in the fall of 2001, Tehatsistahawi (aka Hotdog Water Art) is an Anishinaabe Onyota’a:aka artist from Southern Ontario. He is a self taught artist, and often creates his work digitally. Tehatsistahawi also occasionally creates original art pieces with ink on watercolor and sketchbook paper.
Tsista’s variation of woodland style can be recognized by semi-bold black lines, intricate patterns, and vibrant colors; all of which work together to make the artwork flow elegantly across the canvas. With his personal experiences and perspectives as inspiration, Tehatsistahawi artwork tells the stories that belong to him as an indigenous individual. Being a frequent daydreamer however, many of his best art pieces simply begin as an image popping up in his head.
