MINI - Spirit Mountain Art - 2024



 Title: DREAMERS COVE
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 8" x 8"
SOLD

Art collector inquired if Mishibinijima would ever revisit the miniature Spirit Mountain Art Style of the same size painted during the 1990s. 

I'll create eighteen miniatures for 2024 - if my eyes allow, this one shown above was my last piece from the 1990s and sold.

UPDATE January 2024:
I needed to store the miniature art project away as a family of Bears came into my last night's dream; one spoke: " This is the Ghost Dance," and I needed to paint it.

Mishibinijima Art Gallery is slowly publishing the most requested Native and Mishmountains imagery. By the spring, summer, and fall public art viewing, all these autographed prints will be in the art market, leaving the 2023 - 2024 winter art season only open by appointment. These are the oversized fine art prints available thus far.
