These paintings are my  “Mother Line Series”.  This series is a heartfelt homage to my  mother – Helen Hardin, and my  grandmother Pablita Velarde.

This special series of paintings are all larger in size – some as large as 7 feet by 10 feet -  and all include elements that showcase the importance of the legacy these amazing women have left the art world.

As you can tell – everything I paint comes from an inner spiritual place that is in large part connected to mom and grandma.

Introducing the newest in the series –

Women’s World – 48″ X 60″ oil/panel – SOLD

This newest painting shows the various work from Native Women’s  hands: pottery, baskets, weaving, and the painting.

Clearly the painting element is from the 3 of us.

The Alchemy Of Destiny  – 48″ X 36″ oil/panel – SOLD

This painting is about the magic of legacy and destiny.

Abstracted roughly from my mom’s “spirit masks” – these 3 figures represent a path to destiny – stronger because of carrying forth from a powerful  legacy.

and the rest of the series:

“I Am Called Mother Earth” – 48″ high X 36″ wide – oil/panel – SOLD

This  is the fourth painting in  the “Mother line” series.  She came to me, in the middle of the night, as an affirmation, right before the SF Indian Market show.  Can you see the world in the background?

The affirmation was from my Mothers before me. This is a very personal message and blessing. There have been a few people who have become tearful, because of her power.   Mother Earth gives us everything.

“Ancestral Procession”  80″ high  110″ wide – oil/linen – unavailable

The third painting in the series is my version of several design elements that my mother and grandmother used.

The head dresses from number 1 and number 5   are borrowed from my mother. The head dresses from number 2 and number 4 are borrowed from my grandmother.

All of the earrings are earrings that my mother left me. The center image – number 3 is all me – the wild child! – can you guess what constellation is in my mouth?

Of course even when borrowing design elements, the outcome is composition and color that is completely mine.

This painting started out (as almost all of mine do) as a 3 color abstract geometric painting with no idea of figures.

“Keeping Something Safe”  54″ high  84″ wide – oil/linen – SOLD – M.I.A.C. Museum collection

The second painting in the series  – “Keeping Something Safe” -  is about my legacy. These are the guardians (spirit masks) charged with keeping the lineage and culture safe. You can see several of these “spirit masks” throughout the piece.

This image will be used for Gathering Of Nations in Albuquerque in April 2011. They are using this image for everything from buses, billboards, hats, bags, t-shirts etc!!  The image will likely be seen by over tn million people over the next 8 months!

One of the reasons it was chosen for “Gathering of Nations” was the title. They loved the image and though it was very dynamic and would fit with the dance and movement of the POW WOW.  When I told them the title – they loved it!

The reason we gave it to the Museum Of Indian Arts and Culture is that they too are charged with “keeping something safe”.

“Messages and Miracles” 60″ high X 96″ wide – oil/linen – SOLD

The first painting in the series is “Messages and Miracles”. Aside from the 3 figures (which all represent the 3 women in my family – though none are a specific one of us), there also are “spirit masks” carrying the messages.    The messages they are carrying and delivering  – like the messages the 3 of us are holding – are all sections from my earlier paintings!  In the background you can see the old world and the new world – almost colliding.  These figures are transiting from the old world to the new world.
