I love walking along the chigami-ziibiing (St. Louis River) estuary and have been spending more time there listening to the noodin (wind). I have seen nigigwag (otters), waagoshag (foxes), maangwag (loons), and migiziwag (eagles) during my walks. It has slowly become one of my favorite places to visit when I want to step back from painting, every day worries, and to relax. I wanted to honor this special place in this new painting. This piece features 474 anangoog (stars), 79 for each ningo-gikinoonowin (year) that I’ve celebrated the ziigwan (spring) equinox home.
