Paintings

The wolves in this painting were inspired by motifs found on engraved shell at the Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma. The poodle (named “Running with Scissors” by Victoria) was inspired by a standard poodle named “Truffles” whose owner is a long-time friend of the artist and her family. The painting is acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas with the wolf figures continuing over the edges of the painting onto the sides.

All tribes had a warrior group or “Society.” Often there was a need for humor to ease the intensity of the emotions that could develop and a “Clown Society” served as a means to preserve the harmony and balance of the tribe.
