Description:
This rare original acrylic painting by Santa Fe-based Indigenous artist Raven Redfox (2015) is a deeply symbolic work created as part of a personal art trade with the late artist Lisah Runninghorse. Designed specifically for Runninghorse’s private collection, this piece carries emotional and cultural significance. Originally, this peice was specifically created as part of an art trade between the two artist, with Raven Redfox receiving a portrait done by Lisah Runninghorse, and this piece being the trade. It was never intended to go to the broader marketz which makes it a rare and collectible peice. Following her passing, the painting was acquired from her estate and remains in excellent condition.

The composition features powerful Native iconography: a central female figure cradling a buffalo skull, a tipi, cosmic sky, crows, a heart-shaped tree, dragonflies, and spirit-inspired patterns. Redfox’s vibrant palette and sharp stylization echo themes of life, transformation, identity, and reverence for nature.

This piece is signed and dated along the edge and comes with documented provenance, including direct email correspondence from the artist confirming the story behind its creation and trade. Raven Redfox expressed gratitude and excitement that the piece has found its way into the hands of a serious collector.
