Artist based on the prairies of North Dakota
Art is the only thing I have ever really wanted to do. Being an artist has been my dream from the very beginning. I have never wanted to get rich from my artwork. Instead, I want to be able to make enough to be able to give it away. I believe art brings people together. It heals, it brightens the world. Case Art isn't just another art store, it is my way of helping others through art.
Mato is the word for bear in the Lakota language. The spirit of the bear is strong and protective. Caring for its family and protecting the ones it loves at all cost. The bear is also my spirit animal, the animal I seem to always be drawn to and relate to. I wear a bear claw necklace always. And from the time when I was a little girl my family and friends always called me Little Bear.
I had to paint this portrait of a grizzly bear as a sort of tribute to the animal I respect and admire but also fear.
Mato is 20 x 20 inches on stretched canvas. It is signed on the front and labeled on the back. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and is ready to hang.
No matter where life takes me, I vow to never stop using my art to help others. The talents we are given are meant to be cultivated and to be used to improve the lives of our fellow humans. It is a greater gift to give of these talents than it is to use them simply for personal gain.
