Jeffrey Maron
Jeffrey Maron is an artist with a long history of exhibits in New York City and elsewhere. He is the recipient of three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Fulbright-Hayes Grant to Japan and an award from the Jackson Pollock/Lee Krasner Foundation. Maron's work is in many corporate, public and private collections. A two-year Fulbright-Hayes Grant for sculpture allowed the artist to live and work in Japan, where he continued to be influenced by cultures of the world dedicated to animism, the worship of an inclusive natural order. Maron's art has a definite connection to our spiritual identity and is not directly derived from any of the main currents of contemporary art. His work is characterized by paradoxes. It is both tough and beautiful, religious and sensual, reminiscent of familiar symbols but clearly unique. "Cultures that see themselves as part of a greater natural order usually create compelling art to which we are all drawn. I see my art as contemporary animism and feel it is attached to the metaphors of this neglected paradigm. I try to create art that will remind people of our spiritual essence. By creating art that communicates this without words, I am participating in an important ongoing spiritual transformation happening in the world today. The activities of my hands are transformative to the materials involved in the creation of my art. My hands know how to change an image or form, into something more than just the reformed material. This necessitates the metamorphosis of the material with a specific energy and intent. This process is difficult to delegate to others, it imbues a unique character to the art, that allows it to speak to the viewer's heart without the need for subsequent explanation." JM Maron is also involved in transforming the environment of healthcare. "Healing and art work together well. As Hippocrates taught, it is important for the environment of healthcare to aid and assist those present. It can make a fundamental difference." JM AWARDs

- Awatovi Visual Prayers, Michael Kabotie Hopi overlay, silver black contemporaryBy Michael Kabotie (Lomawywesa)Located in Santa Fe, NMAwatovi Visual Prayers, II, Hopi overlay, silver, black, contemporary, Kabotie limited edition of 40 The Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona commissioned Michael Kabotie to do a large sculpture/gate for them in 2006. It is done in his signature Hopi overlay style. Kabotie calls it “Visual Prayers” and he describes it as being loosely related to the ancient kiva murals at the Hopi village of Awatovi. His version shows the woven forms of smoke and feathers that the Hopi use to convey prayers that are for the health, long life and blessings for all people. Michael Kabotie was born on September 3, 1942 on the Hopi Indian Reservation in northeastern Arizona. He grew up in the village of Shungopavi and attended school on the reservation until the Hopi high school was closed. He graduated from Haskell Indian School in Lawrence, Kansas in 1961. While in his junior year there he was invited to spend the summer at the Southwest Indian Art Project at the University of Arizona. Participants included Fritz Scholder, Helen Hardin, Charles Loloma and Joe Hererra (who became a lifelong friend and his primary artist mentor). After high school, Michael attended the University of Arizona, studying engineering. After dropping out of college he held a one-man show at the Heard Museum and his work was on the cover of Arizona Highways magazine. In 1967 Michael underwent his Hopi manhood initiation into the Wuwutsim Society and was given his Hopi name, Lomawywesa (Walking in Harmony). Both Michael and his father, Fred Kabotie, have been innovators in the Native American Fine Arts Movement, creating paintings that reflect traditional Hopi life in contemporary media. Fred Kabotie was one of the Hopi art...Category
