This piece is a celebration of spirit, strength, and heritage. I created this horse not just as an animal, but as a symbol one that carries deep meaning in Native culture. The flowing, colorful mane reflects the energy and life woven into our traditions. Each shade red, blue, yellow, green was chosen to represent the beauty and diversity within our people and our stories.
You’ll see subtle patterns throughout the horse’s features those are inspired by traditional Native designs, worked in carefully to honor the past while creating something new. The horse’s eyes were especially important to me. I wanted them to feel wise, almost human, like they’ve seen generations come and go but still carry hope.
This isn’t just a portrait of a horse it’s a reflection of our connection to the land, to the animals, and to each other. It’s about remembering where we come from and taking pride in the journey. I hope it speaks to that quiet strength that lives in all of us.
