Ghost Dancers

Where ever we played, or explored as children, allowed us to learn more about our culture and use our imaginations, to become anyone or anything. We believed we were always surrounded by our spirit ancestors, who taught us how to keep this part of ourselves, alive forever. Although it is difficult to see, in the background of this painting, are the four of us, dancing with spirits formed out of the morning mist, near my Grandmothers lake.

The Dragonfly, is considered a spiritual vessel by the natives. It is believed if one lands on you, or fly's around you, you are being watched over by relatives who have passed on.
