Dwayne Frost is from his Reservation the Constance Lake First Nation, Ontario, Canada. His Family’s community is Pagwa River, Ontario, Canada. He is a self taught artist who started both painting and carving about 20 years ago. He has developed his unique art style working and studying with Norval Morriseau “The Copper Thunderbird” in the beginning of his art career and later through the years, with extended family and friends from the many northern first nations in northern Ontario, Canada. He further developed his art style through painting and carving from what he studied through his friends and family in Sandy Lake First Nation. He has returned to his traditional beliefs and culture and shares the many legends, stories and his experiences through his artwork, so that, they may not be lost, but recorded in some way for future generations to see, experience and learn from.
