Raven's Soul Original Alaska Native Oil Painting by Nena Howell

Nena Howell’s multi-jury award winning “Raven’s Soul”, a new contemporary work celebrating Alaska Native Indian, Tlingit culture in this oil on artist board signature work. A raven-masked dancer lands on the forest floor, with his hands curled protecting the flight. His formline raven mask is carved in a traditional Tlingit style, where ovoid shapes reveal the spirit of the bird within. Celestial red ovoid arcs burst through the forest sky and lay a trail of lights for knowledge seekers. We come from the forest and return, this handsome raven dancer protects your path. 2022.
