"I find the youth of today relates to the arts, and that is the direction I focus on. I am very strongly involved in my culture and spirituality, and live that way of life to the best of my ability." Mr. Charboneau has had numerous exhibitions in Canada including, The Spencer Gallery, Woodlands Cultural Center, and Hamilton & Regional Arts Council, all in Ontario, Canada. He was also featured on CH Television, National Aboriginal Day, 2002 and was awarded an Emerging Artist Grant from the Ontario Arts Council in 2001.

As
an art therapy facilitator, Mr. Charboneau has taken his life teachings into the realm of
lecturing, public speaking and consulting in the area of youth and restorative justice.
His artworks are an extension of his spirit- the speaking and consulting engagements allow
him to return to his origins and speak to Native youths about the choices they make.
"It
is women who are the backbone of our communities and families. With much respect all women
should be honored everyday of the year."
"Being
free as a feather we travel through life with a purpose and knowledge the Creator has
given to us. In strength and endurance, to be half human and half feather is our dream,
that allows us to travel beyond the physical world."
"It
is family that means life and it is life that means family. With
