Title: Lense of the spirit

Artist: Rachael Hart

Year Completed: 2022

Medium: Arcylic Paint, Unframed

Dimensions (HxWxD): 16" x 20"

Description/Inspiration:

This painting is more of a symbolic piece. The young woman represents the soul of a human life, while the yellow paint represents the other souls/spirit. The circle around her is a lens to see the spirit world. The dots under the circle represent the 7 teachings. The upper right is an abstract eagle. The meaning behind the eagle is love. The turtles that you see represent the truth. The meaning behind the flower and the bird is life. The person in the boat is on a journey of a vision quest. My inspirations come from modern art and the woodland style made by norval morrisseau.

Artist Bio/Statement:

I'm an Anishinaabe artist who was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Drawing was a hobby for me as I was growing up.When I turned 12, I had a desire to further develop my art skills and style. I am thinking of a career in fine arts. Realism, modern art, cubism, abstract and many other art styles is what influences, inspires my art. Years later, I am doing what I love. Art is an expression of my thoughts and feelings on a piece of paper or canvas. A certain color like yellow symbolizes happiness to me. I ask myself what story do I want to tell?
My goal when I'm painting or drawing is to share my culture, and traditions. My artstyle or the meaning behind the piece I am working on always has elements of my Anishinabe culture and traditions.
