Decided to embellish with a mixture of beads, gold leaf and sequins 🤩 #lindawrightart #calgaryart #horseart #cityart #gwichinartist Horse Art With their innate sense of design and symbolism, as well as their strong desire to create art and adorn the important with beautiful things, the Indigenous people honored the horse with beautifully made saddles, blankets, and bridles (and other horse gear), special ceremonial dress, powerful war paint, and sometimes, even an elaborately decorated mask. https://prairieedge.com/tribe-scribe/native-american-art-of-horse-masking/

Arctic Pollution, 9x12, Acrylic on canvas embellished with a mix of beads (to represent the mixture of chemical pollutants) The main contaminants in the Arctic region are heavy metals, such as mercury and lead, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as DDT, PCBs and dioxins, which evaporate into the air but are slow to degrade. These toxic materials bioaccumulate in the food chain, passing from planktonic micro-organisms to the fish that eat them and then on to larger wildlife. As they eat contaminated prey, animals at the top of the food chain, such as polar bears, seals, and whales, store more and more toxins in their fatty tissue and organs. https://discoveringthearctic.org.uk/science/arctic-science/arctic-pollution/ #lindawrightart #gwichinartist #arcticart #climatechange #savethearctic
