Steff and her Grandmother
On the Jemez River

This is a chimerical ensemble. All of it is imaginative and not in keeping with reality at all, except for Steff who, that day in the Jemez, lifted us up from the river rocks to an awareness of the energy, power, and mystique of Mother Spirit – or, as Steff called her, “Grandmother”. There are those who feel the artist has depicted our spirit ancestor as too earthy, too voluptuous, but they are obviously overlooking the divine aspects of nurture and abundance. (36” x 48”)
