LOOKING HOMEWARD

Oil on Canvas - 32" x 40"

These women are of the Haida Tribe. It was as these women were walking away from me that the power of their robes caught my attention. These robes are worn at potlatches, ceremonial dances, weddings, graduations, powwows, etc. They are appliqued and decorated with buttons and sometimes shells. The images are in the Northwest Native American tradition.
