DG House: In That Still Moment

Jan 13 - Mar 31

LT Pick

To create this body of work, artist DG House (Cherokee of Northeast Alabama) draws on her numerous experiences as resident artist in Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park over the course of several decades. In addition, she has been documenting the wildlife, local environment, and local histories in the park system as a freelance photographer in Yellowstone since 1981. House’s paintings are characterized by a vivid palette and approachable subject matter. House explains, "As an Indigenous creative, I’ve made it my job to produce art that represents the wildlife and people who don’t often have a voice in our society. I spend a large part of my time with wildlife in the wildlands. Inspiration is everywhere in my world. As a Native artist, I believe I have my personal ancestors and all people who came before in my workspace with me.” Her process includes applying multiple layers of water-based oil, acrylics, pastels, and colored pencils. The perimeters of her paintings are lined with her trademark geometric patterns drawn from bead and quillwork.
