Dreamwalker
Available as an Autographed Edition & Open Edition

Drawing on his Cherokee heritage, this Arizona artist, whose large, spiritually powerful portraits of Native American warriors are coveted by museums, has created a visual interpretation of the traditional tale of the “Dreamwalker.” It is a story about a medicine man who is told in a vision that “the discovery of power will come through the ways of animals.”  Shortly thereafter he sets out on a trek across the Great Plains, to the East, where Illumination lives. He carries a pipe with him. He has many encounters. He draws on the powers of a medicine wheel. Near the end of his journey he is greeted by a White Stallion who tells him the secret of “true power” is compassion, caring and sharing one’s gift with others.

Ben lives in Sedona, Arizona. The original Masterwork of “Dreamwalker” was selected as a finalist in the Native Art of Horse Painting national competition.



Wish Upon A Star
Available as an Autographed Edition & Open Edition

Although no unicorn sightings have been reported in centuries, this mysteriously beautiful creature is alive and well in legend and myth, and in our hearts and minds. Believed to be a fabulous hybrid with the body of a white horse, the cloven hooves of a goat, a lion’s tail, and a slender, golden spiral horn on its forehead, the unicorn is an animal of good omen and magical qualities. It is reported to appear to true believers when the time is right. The perfect gift for unicorn lovers, “Wish Upon a Star” was created by the multi-talented artist who sculpted all the original Painted Pony horse forms.

Star is an award-winning Santa Fe-New Mexico sculptor known as much for her Native American and Wildlife subject matter, as her equine sculpture.



Dream Warriors
Available as an Open Edition

“My best designs come to me when I am quiet,” says Colorado artist Ross Lampshire, perhaps best known as a rodeo photographer and potter. “An idea or image enters my mind almost as a whisper…and fast takes on a life of its own.” Inspired by written accounts of Sitting Bull’s dreams prior to battle, Ross had his own dream one night of Sitting Bull silhouetted against a full moon with clouds parting, as if in search of a vision. Working in a stylized manner, Ross has created a dramatic, powerful and flowing design that honors this famous Sioux Chief.



Tip-Toe Through the Tulips
Available as an Open Edition
