“To create one of my Pow Wow paintings, I attend various Pow Wows of the Southwest focusing mainly on Gathering of Nations held each April in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Gathering of Nations is my favorite event because of its sheer size and number of dancers – as many as 3,000 over the weekend.
The colors, patterns and textures of the dancers blend into a kaleidoscope of colorful design. I like to put a sharp focus on faces or outfits which by their incredible uniqueness draws attention to themselves above all others. Each of my paintings is not only a snapshot of time and place, but also records the blending of cultures and history. Pow Wows are a vital catalyst for cultural renewal and celebration. I feel honored to be allowed this celebration in my life.” -- Taryn Wise
