Kalum Teke Dan

Kalum is a Blackfoot artist from Calgary who originates from the Blood Tribe in Southern Alberta. He was first inspired to create art by his grandparents, who were known internationally for their bead work and traditional regalia.

Mostly self-taught and working in both oil and watercolour, Kalum has become known for his strong portraiture and his stunning wildlife depictions. His portraits are based on real life people– those who portray the strength and the pride of the People as a whole.

He captures the spirit of the animals he paints on canvas. Kalum’s work is in the personal collection of several Canadian Premiers, international leaders and many of Canada’s leading corporations.
