Earth Dance

When Horse dances the medicine wheel
his hoof beats resound the earth like a drum
The spirits rise to meet him, offering a sacred dance

East Eagle ~ illuminator of spirit

South Beaver ~ the builder of dreams

West Bear ~ link to the unconscious mind
North Massau’u ~ the God of earth and rebirth.

In gratitude for your wisdom.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
The inspiration for “Earth Dance” was created from images I received from my vision to portray the Soul Essence of a horse named Cutter. Beaver was my guide, and he led me on a journey to reveal beings of the Earth, Air, and Spirit. I felt like sound and vibration were essential to Cutter. I asked which animals wanted to be in the four directions. Three animals came to me clearly – but the fourth being was a mystery. There was a message that it was something to do with an earth god of the Hopi and was associated with the colors green and red. I discovered the Hopi earth god is called Massau’u. He is responsible for the Earth's surface, fire, and the underworld, and is called upon for healing the sick. His shawl is green and red. I once read that sand painters in the Navaho tradition would leave a part of a spirit unfinished so they wouldn’t be “trapped” in the art. Thus Massau’u is at the topmost edge. It was a joy to bring this powerful vision from Cutter to life!

PLEASE NOTE: International Print Shipments:

Free Shipping is only offered on Domestic USA shipments and doesn't apply to Canadian and International Shipping. With the variety of products we offer, it is impossible to accurately predict Shipping charges to different countries. Shipping costs for prints are calculated AFTER checkout based on package weight and distance. Customers will receive an invoice to cover any additional costs. Please note that we are only charging the amount to ship, which exceeds what we are offering as free packaging and shipping. Tracking is also sometimes unreliable but our packages have always landed safely. Border fees, duties, and handling fees might apply.

When ordering prints: I have my art custom-scanned with the highest resolution possible to capture every stroke and texture of the original pastel. For most of my prints, my publisher, American Moulding, offers a variety of options shown below. I also offer Custom Prints which are made locally and hand-signed and shipped from my studio.

Paper Prints and Matted Prints are printed on substantial 180g Archival Matte paper. They are wrapped in clear protective packaging in a flat mailer.

Regarding Matted Prints: The size of the matted print indicates the outside edge of the mat dimensions. An 11" x 14" matted print fits in a frame with an 11" x 14" opening. Depending upon the artwork dimensions, mats are approx 1 1/2" - 2" wide

Premium Fine Art Prints are printed on luscious 310g Sunset Textured Watercolor paper. They are shipped rolled in a sturdy tube. This allows the larger size to ship economically and damage-free.

Canvas Prints are finished with a mirror image of the art around the edge and mounted on 1.5” inch stretcher bars. They include a wire for hanging and are shipped in a sturdy cardboard crate

Please Note: Some of my artwork is different in ratio than standardized sizes. They work best with custom framing by your local frame shop. For more affordable framing, consider the Matted Prints which allow any size of art to become a standard-sized dimension to allow ease of selecting a store-bought frame.

Matted Prints: 3 to 4 weeks

For the 11x14” Matted Print the Art Image is approximately 8x10”
