Darlene McElroy
Born under a Red Moon

2019

About the Item

Artist Comments
I was surprised to find when I did my dna test that I am part Native American, and wanted to honor those that came before me with a series of portraits. The cross symbol is prevalent in the culture. I also have beading, arrowheads and horsehair tassels that tie it all together. The piece is presented in a weathered finish frame.

About the Artist
Darlene McElroy sees creating art as similar to reading Turkish coffee grounds. A story becomes revealed as one looks at the surface, texture and color. Her works use a variety of materials ranging from acrylics paints to collage. She currently lives in New Mexico and has been greatly influenced by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. She encourages viewers to search for their narrative interpretation when viewing a work.
