Taawa, the sun, carries prayer feathers, offering blessings to all life, as rain clouds bring moisture to the Earth. Stars gather around Taawa offering their own prayers.
This artwork honors the ancient mural-painting style by using matte, textured pigment paints that echo the original murals found at ancient Pueblo sites. Pueblo painting is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the Southwest, dating back over 4000 years.
