Thunderbird Vision
Thunderbirds are held in great reverence in many Native American cultures. This legendary bird was believed to possess supernatural strength, and that thunder was caused by the beating of the wings, resulting in wind.
Spearfish Canyon
Once an artist has stood on the spot, breathed in the air and heard the sounds native to a particular location, it all comes back when seeing the art: I love that!
From the Prairie
In Wyoming, on BLM land (Bureau of Land Management, or B.L.M. Land) I have been able to witness this. There, many horses are released into the wild, and this symbol of freedom can be experienced yet today.
Western Icons
Symbols lend sense of belonging and order. In America, we tend to still identify with where we came from…” My mother was English and my father was Irish” for example.
Damn Good Land
I was always mystified by the idea of The Badlands as a child, so played with the concept of good and bad land in this painting.
