Sky Dance
2023, oil on canvas, 11" x 14"
"Ojibwe traditions tell us that when we pass and leave this earth, we will dance in spirit form through the doorway to the next world. Our spirit will join those of our ancestors, and upon joining them we will rejoice and dance in the sky. The world will see us dancing in the sky and call it Waawaate, the Northern Lights.
