Organic objects, sand, acrylic washes and mediums are all layered intuitively to create a visual in which life in the Great Basin is told through a new medium. Willows, tules, cattails, and pine nuts are all very important staples to the Paiute people, being sources of food, shelter, and implements made with artistic intention. I integrated these images and cultural organic materials into my artwork as my interpretation of landscapes and how I view the beauty of my culture as well as nature itself. I consider these works to be a perspective of my tribe and culture through the eyes of a Native woman, mother, and artist.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ravenmakesgallery.com\/pages\/melissa-melero-moose\" title=\"Melissa Melero Moose, Contemporary Paiute Painter, at Raven Makes Gallery in Sisters, Oregon\"\u003eMelissa's Bio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-08-16T10:27:42-07:00","created_at":"2019-07-26T10:43:36-07:00","vendor":"Raven Makes Gallery","type":"Painting","tags":["2019i","Melissa Melero Moose","Painting"],"price":210000,"price_min":210000,"price_max":210000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":29421601619991,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"MMM3","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Burden Basket and Willow, by Melissa Melero Moose","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":210000,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":""}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1275\/6003\/products\/IMG-0795_2.jpg?v=1568415631","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1275\/6003\/products\/image_e919481b-c038-4935-abc4-24aa2904448d.jpg?v=1568415448","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1275\/6003\/products\/image_d8a4b173-9a2f-43c4-b591-aefe8837d2e1.jpg?v=1568415508","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1275\/6003\/products\/image_96288104-8f31-4524-8e38-7c1f252afd0a.jpg?v=1568415513"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1275\/6003\/products\/IMG-0795_2.jpg?v=1568415631","options":["Title"],"content":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurden Basket and Willow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelissa's works are lustrous and dimensional, reflecting light in beautiful ways.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30\" x 40\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillow, Acrylic Pours, and Varnish on Stretched Canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eby Melissa Melero Moose, Northern Paiute\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"My artworks consist of contemporary mixed media paintings of images inspired by the landscape and culture of the Numu (Northern Paiute) in Nevada, California, and Oregon.
