🚨FEATURED ARTISTS ALERT🚨

Meet Butch Thunderhawk and Olivia Pate Thunderhawk – two of the artists attending our Summer Artist Block Party!

🎨❤️🎨❤️🎨❤️🎨❤️🎨❤️🎨❤️🎨❤️🎨❤️

Butch Thunder Hawk, Hunkpapa Lakota, is from Cannonball, a community on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Thunder Hawk spent much of his childhood and youth learning traditional Lakota culture and arts from his grandparents and from the other tribal elders. Later he received formal artistic training at the California College of Art and Crafts in Oakland. Thunder Hawk taught traditional tribal arts at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, ND for nearly five decades.

Thunder Hawk works in a variety of media, including Norther Plains Indian drawings. These drawings are many times called “Ledger Art.” They are drawn with colored pencil, crayons, and ink on old ledger accounting book pages and old documents. These drawings depict war deeds, hunting exploits, courtship, ceremonies, and everyday life.

Olivia Pate Thunderhawk recently graduated high school. She creates art with colored pencil and watercolors. She is also an active birder and avid photographer. As such, the focus of her art and camera lens center largely on birds and nature.

What's David's current favorite thing? Water brushes! These pens have small tanks that fill with water, allowing you to make water-based art (like guache and watercolor) on the go. It's perfect for David when he's outside painting with the Prairie Plein Air Artists.
