Roger Sosakete Perkins is a Bear Clan artist from Akwesasne, an First Nations territory that runs along the Saint Lawrence River and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. He strives to maintain a spiritual composure as a husband, a visionary, eternal optimist, culture keeper, and father of five children.

Roger views his art as an all-encompassing journey of the integration of texture and color, humans and nature, spirit and the supernatural, earth and the cosmos, and indigenous humor and activism. As a visual artist, he has produced a vast collection of paintings and digital images that illustrate his belief in the positive aspects of tradition and the natural world. He paints images deep-rooted in native inspired abstract design. With my motto “educate through art,” he creates with a specific message and teaching in mind: to inspire, awaken, honor and unite all.
