^Lot 1635 Cindy Jo Popjoy Spirit Mask.

Titled "Brave Heart Woman", #1/30, Spirits From The Heart. From the artist: "For more than thirty years, I have immersed myself in the study and creation of Native American art. My love for the narrative beauty of Native American culture, as well as a desire to honor my Cherokee heritage, has driven me to understand and represent the character, strength, and honor of Native American people. I am a self-taught artist, competent in ceramic, clay, bronze, and other mixed media, and I am meticulous in researching and understanding the subject matter I represent with each of my pieces. My intent is always to make my art speak to my audience. If eyes convey emotion, posture portrays movement, and detail portrays a story, then I know my pieces are conveying the stories I wish to tell with each one. My work and business accomplishments have been recognized both locally and throughout the Mountain West. I have been highlighted in magazines such as Cowboys & Indians and Western Art & Architecture, and my various awards and business endeavors have been recognized in local publications such as the Idaho State Journal and the Blackfoot Morning News. I independently owned and operated my own business, From the Heart of Idaho, where I sold my own artwork as well as that of various other local artists. I took great pride in showcasing my talents and providing an avenue for other developing artists to thrive." Comes with Certificate of Authenticity.
