Out of the Dark is one in a series of paintings inspired by the art and spiritual insights of Indigenous peoples. The series is a work-in-progress centering on valuing and sustaining the gifts of the natural world. As an artist, I find Native wisdom often applies universally over time, especially in difficult times, such as the present. Out of the Dark is an invitation to imagine our world rising out of these deeply dark times. It can be a practice to stay balanced as evil rises and we imagine it eventually receding.
This original oil on canvas (18" X 24") depicts a deep darkness disrupted by bright reds and vibrant Hopi yellows in a spinning sun. Inside the sun is a seven-pointed star representing the unity and interconnectedness of the seven Cherokee Clans.
"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." Desmond Tutu
