Tamara Rymer recently posted a drawing on Instagram for one of her amazing
prints. I was the lucky winner! The large print of “Buffalo Dancer” is stunning
to see and is currently at the frame shop for framing. Thank you, Tamara!

From Tamara…
The
print is of a watercolor painting I did called "Buffalo Dancer". I
did a series of paintings of Native dancers (different tribes), as I was and am
mesmerized by their story telling through dance form. This dance was a
blessing. They'll do blessings for crops, family, weather, etc. It is
quite an honor to be a dancer for a tribe, and in some tribes, the dancer has
to be in good standing in the tribal community to be able to go out with the
group exhibiting the dances.
I
attended church service at a Catholic Church on the plaza in Santa Fe one Sunday.
The service included a blessing for the Indian Market which takes place here
once a year. It's a monster tourism draw with booths exhibiting wares and
crafts from Native tribes all over the US. To sit in that historical cathedral
and hear the pounding of Native drums and a group of Buffalo dancers dance
their way down the aisles toward the front, their leg bells ringing - I'll
never forget that!
