Wokini..Seeking a new beginning Wood Print

I was here before I came..... roots run deep open country, sliprock canyons....mesas my soul wrapped tightly around sandstone boulders, sweet smelling sage... across land.time.place a respect and love for the people I walk this land in my collective memory a link between past and present, illuminating the Native traditions, in passion, in humbleness. with pen and brush, a collection of vibrant, moving images stories untold till now, gathered in the name of our relations. i transverse this land....only now...but also before .........I was here before I came only the faces will tell their stories. today.... listen.... and they will speak to you. .......julie.a.miller within my paintings, a hope to give voice...
