The Face of Ancient America, 2013, oil on canvas, 48"x36"
This image is taken from a head fragment dated 300 A.D. in Coastal Lowlands of Veracruz, Mexico. It likely was attached to a life-size human figure. So I’m only guessing what that figure might have looked like. I have the figure standing in a pile of building blocks with skulls peering out as though in a dig or a midden. I was so captivated by the sophistication of this sculpture that I wanted to commemorate it, commit it to memory for myself. As I delve into the history of the Americas for my own research, Native America never ceases to surprise me with artistry that is unknown or little discussed. Museum, University and art conferences often neglect the continent they stand upon and offer panels and discussions on Egyptian art, Medieval and European art rather than anything about the original peoples of the Americas including today’s descendants of the First Peoples who are sometimes called “Aliens.” - JQTSS

Waiting for Rain, 2014, Lithograph, Edition of 20, 22" x15"
Waiting for Rain - We've been in severe drought for perhaps 5 years or more and since I'm a gardener, this really affects my life as I observe the stress on the eco system around me. I used a drawing from Karl Bodmer for the Native man, a locust from Andre Masson, a bird from Wifredo Lam. There are bars of "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey" My meaning is totally different from the song, which is about a sweetheart, my meaning is that perhaps grey skies will bring some rain.- JQTSS
