The Teaching: Grounded Strength, Spirit Connection
This piece bridges two worlds: the grounded power of the Bear (Makwa) and the spiritual connection of the Feather. In Indigenous teachings, the Bear is the guardian of the land and the keeper of medicine, representing courage, protection, and healing. The Feather represents a connection to the Creator and the element of air. Together in Bear Framed Feather, they offer a teaching of balanced strength—reminding us that true power comes from being firmly grounded while remaining open to spiritual guidance.
The Art: A Delicate Balance
Painting on a natural turkey feather requires patience, precision, and a gentle hand—qualities that mirror the Bear’s own medicine. Jessica Somers transforms this delicate organic canvas into a bold statement of resilience. The texture of the feather adds a layer of depth and softness to the strong image of the bear, creating a piece that invites viewers to look closer and appreciate the intricate relationship between nature and art.
The Product: Framed Mixed Media Original
Presented in an 11×14″ frame, this piece is ready to hang and protected under glass to preserve the delicate feather work. It is a striking conversation piece that blends traditional natural materials with contemporary Woodland artistic expression.
