"Ancestors," Oil Painting in Honor of Native Americans of Taos and US
Years ago as a seven year old child rubbing my feet in the black loam of our Ohio vegetable garden, I made a marvelous discovery--a stone tomahawk hidden in the dirt. It seemed so obvious and yet so mysterious that I picked it up in wonder. What an exciting find! As I look back on that discovery, I am still in awe and perhaps have even less understanding than during that time of innocence. Could it have been an omen of things to come? Could it in its own small way have pushed me to a path of discovery which would help fashion my adult life? I have woven Navajo style; I live in a place inhabited by descendants of the Anasazis, and I wonder at the beauty, mystical energy, and intelligence of the Native American culture in which I live. This painting is a tribute to our ancestors of the Americas, the people who lived and still live in this land. Thank you.
