When Butterflies Migrate

When Butterflies Migrate (Do You Call Them Illegals, Too?)

“When Butterflies Migrate…” is a 14”x14” mixed media painting. Featuring an Indigenous woman from Mexico. The title refers to the migration and general flow of people, animals, insects, plants, that has existed on the North American continent since time immemorial. It seems that with only people do we name this migration as being “illegal”. “When Butterflies…” will be on display and available at Indigenizing The Zacc: Walk with Purpose at The ZACC in Missoula for the month of November. * “When Butteflies Migrate…” is no longer available. *

Mary Sophie- Flathead Reservation

Mary Sophie- Flathead Reservation

“Mary Sophie- Flathead Reservation” is a 24”x24” mixed media painting. Mary Sophie is a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and was originally photographed in St. Ignatius on Flathead Reservation sometime around the turn of the 19th century, shortly after Removal. “Mary Sophie” will be available at The Russell Live Auction as part of the CM Russell Auction Events.
