Dusk Dancer II Wall Art

A tall, slender katsina-style figure carved from cottonwood root stands against a dusk sky, arms raised above its headdress. Painted in turquoise, terracotta, and bone white, it is lit by low raking light that catches the spiral grain of the wood. Painterly gouache on a toned ground gives this piece a warm, handcrafted presence that suits collectors of Southwestern and figurative art.
