Ledger Paintings by Michael Horse

This item cannot be shipped outside North America.

This ledger painting was inspired by the role of Deputy Hawk, also simply called "The Hawk", played by Michael Horse in the television series Twin Peaks. 

In this giclee print, the man is The Hawk in his traditional regalia and the hawk above him is his protector.  He is praying and singing to the sacred mountains called Twin Peaks in the state of Washington.  Owls are meaningful in the television series, Twin Peaks, and are said to know everything.  The smaller log leaning up against the tree, which gave answers to Deputy Hawk, was left there by the Log Lady, an important character in the series.  The black lodge above the mountains was a place of medicine, also important in the series.  The spaceship above the mountains is keeping an eye on all things Twin Peaks.

Two Spirit people are not only accepted in most traditional Indigenous communities, but also honored. In many tribes they have traditionally held places of respect as medicine people, healers, the parents of orphans, diplomats, and more. Two Spirit people are understood to embody both genders which blesses them with a deeper understanding of the human condition.

Yaqui artist, Michael Horse, painted this image, Two Spirit Strong, to honor our relatives who have had the strength to defy the colonizer's attempts to harm and diminish them, as well as force them into binary relationships for hundreds of years. We honor their courage and bravery with this image.

The Wedding metal print would make a beautiful gift for an engagement, wedding, anniversary, or statement of love to a beloved. Award-winning Yaqui artist, Michael Horse, painted this wedding scene. The woman, Little Deer, and man, Bull Buffalo, are wrapped in a blanket during the ceremony. The red lines coming from their mouths indicate they are speaking. The holy man raises his eagle fan in blessing while the eagle flies overhead to witness and take the prayers and the couple's words of commitment to the Creator.

The ledger painting was painted on a wedding certificate, ca 1896, from the State of New Jersey.
