On Saturday, I went to the annual Heard Museum's Indian Fair and Market. As always, it was a day well spent viewing extraordinary art and talking with interesting artists. I'll show you a little sample here.
First up, is Ancient Dignity from Mark Fischer an Oneida sculptor. You might remember that I spotted a life sized bison similar to this three years ago in Old Town Scottsdale. You can see that one here.
Above is a painting by Carol Emarthle-Douglas. Carol is Northern Arapaho - Seminole. I love the simplicity of this painting and if my walls weren't already completely covered, I might have been tempted to purchase this one.
To the left is a wonderful and whimsical sculpture made from clay. It was created by Kathleen Wall of the Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico. I always enjoy seeing these wonderful characters.
And here is Rain Scott with his "paper sculpture" of a peacock. He creates wonderful pieces using the origami technique.
I think he might be very new to markets like this because he didn't have business cards. He simply wrote his name on a small card and gave it to me.
This last artist is a photographer, Cara Romero and she is from Santa Fe New Mexico. I immediately fell in love with the top photo (and it's message) and asked if I could photograph it. To see more of Cara's work, check out her instagram page. She is very creative.
Tomorrow I'll show you some of the entertainment I saw at my visit to the market.

Wow, that peacock is incredible! And yes, I love the "No Wall" photo, too.

I like that painting too, Sharon!
Beautiful art, I love the peacock.
Lovely work! I think my favorite is the peacock.
Ancient Dignity is my favourite of the set.
Oh my gosh I love everything here Sharon, the bison, like the one you spotted before is magnificent! Love the paintings and photographer's work.. but the paper peacock is too fabulous!
