​Moonlight Forager II is a reprise of a similar piece that the artist did over 30 years ago. Now long lost, that early drawing has remained a favourite and one that Mark has always wanted to artistically revisit in his now much more developed style and technique. Waagosh, as Fox is known to the Anishinabek People, continues to have a special significance in Mark’s life as he is frequently visited by Waagosh — more than any other forest dweller – during his travels whether travelling on foot, by paddle or by road. But there is an even more sacred and special presence of this keen, swift and adaptable animal in Mark’s life by way of his son whose Anishnabek name is Waagoshonse, “Little Fox.” This piece is dedicated to him.

Mark Nadjiwan is a self-taught artist whose chosen medium is pen and ink, working in archival acrylic inks on acid and lignen-free illustration boards. His unique style is a fusion of several artistic traditions, and includes the Indigenous inspired designs of both the Woodland and West Coast schools, as well as non-Indigenous approaches such as realism. Mark’s work can be found in numerous venues across Canada as well as private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe. In November of 2022, he was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. His First Nation roots are grounded in the Georgian Bay and Lake Superior Treaty regions, and he is a citizen/member of Neyaashiinigmiing Unceded First Nation. Mark lives on the traditional and current territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), in Treaty 72, along with his wife, Patricia Gray, who is also an artist, working in acrylic mediums.
