"Bold lines, shapes and colors with poetic message. This painting represents the tree life. Specifically the tree of life that is in the middle of the Sun Dance arbor at the sacred Lakota Sundance. The colors represent the prayer ties that are wrapped around the Sun Dance tree that is there all year long. At the end of the year that tree comes down and gets put into the sacred fire that is used at the sweat lodges at the dance for that year. Then, a new tree gets put in its place and the cycle continues. The painting is also about prayer. The Sun Dance is one big prayer. For me, it was a prayer about healing myself and learning to love myself and eventually "seeing the light in my own eyes." So the painting, with the message written in it, is also an encouragement to others to love themselves and literally "see the light in their own eyes.""
