Biography from Art Gallery Of Mississauga:
| With parents of both Ojibwa and European descent, Carl Beam
investigated issues of culture and history in his art. After a
period at the Kootenay School of the Arts* in 1971, Beam transferred to the
University of Victoria in 1973, garnering a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree in 1976.
As a student, Beam rebelled against the Native "formula" painting of
the Woodland School* and began integrating non-Native content into his
works.
