SAULT STE. MARIE An Indigenous artist in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., is getting some world recognition for his artwork. Several of Thomas Sinclair s pieces have been picked up by galleries throughout Europe, where they will be on display this summer. But according to Sinclair, all he wants to do is help give back to his community. I m receiving so much success and such an abundance of it, that I have to give back, I have to share it, he said. Sinclair s art will be featured at the Venice International Art Fair in Venice, Italy through June. He s also collaborating with the Van Gogh Art Gallery in Madrid, Spain.

Since he began painting in 2018, Thomas Sinclair never thought he would be a professional artist. Now only three years later, Sinclair’s woodland style art is going to be featured in two international summer art fairs.
Sinclair’s art will be featured at the Venice International Art Fair at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice, Italy from May 11 to June 3. There Sinclair will have one painting displayed for a week at the beginning of June.
Sinclair is also collaborating with the Van Gogh Art Gallery in Spain where his art will be shown at the ART Innsbruck art fair in Austria.
