Chholing P. Taha, Cree/Iroquois
b. 1948 -

Living and working in the Pacific Northwest with my family and friends for the past 20 years life has been an ever searching for an answer to "What's It All About". As a consequence I began in the series of paintings titled the "Whispering Series", next was "Moon Series" and I am addressing selected "Creation Stories".

These paintings are the whisperings of the mountain passes at dawn, as the midnight sky and stars draw their first breath of the evening, or the joy of a blue bird on a gray, spring day, each teaching us, guiding you, ever watchful of the comings and goings of humankind. All this soul searching inter-weaves with 35 years of sweats, fasts and other ceremonial activities.

Now turning into a new year, I've turned my attention to Creation Stories as of 2008.
