Description
Artwork Size: 20×20, Medium: 3-color screenprint on Crane Lettra paper, Location Depicted in Artwork: Okmulgee, OK, Artist Statement: My images for the Arkansas Territory show are tied together by two important elements that appear over and over in my art: old family photos, and maps. Sense of family, and sense of place, are both spiritually important to me as an artist, and indeed, to all peoples. The people and the maps in my work honor my Muscogee (Creek) Native heritage, and the resilience of people who endured untold hardships in the Indian and Arkansas Territories.
