Artist: Star Liana York
Recognized by Southwest Art Magazine as one of the Top 30 Artists featured in their 30 years of publication, Santa Fe sculptor Star Liana York is as well known for her detailed and sensitive renderings of Native Peoples, as her gift for capturing the spirit of the horse in three-dimensions. With Medicine Horse, she has combined her love and knowledge of people with special relationships to animals by creating a Plains Indian ceremonial horse dressed with a collection of personal objects believed to give the horse?s owner power: shields, a lance, a bow, a pipe and assorted amulets and talismans.
