Title: False Face Healing

Size: 3 ' x 4 '

I decided I would like to keep some photos of the work in progress. To show the steps it takes in process of inspiration , thoughts, color choice and composition.

I go to the longhouse during the ceremonies. Just being there you feel, breath, and absorb the medicine in the air. I wanted this art piece to reflect that.

Great Day!

Today I found out that I'm listed on the Iroquois Museum Links.

Then I found one of my Gustowa's that I made long ago. I didn't have a camera at the time when I made and sold 30 Gustowa's to the First Nations Boutique in Kahnawake in 2002. I found one of them that was sold to a museum. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.

Next I received a phone call from Echoes Of A Proud Nation pow-wow. They want me to send them my photos and resume. They have chosen four artist in our community to put in the pow-wow brochure. I was picked as one of the four artist.
