DEANNE McKEOWN WAOW SIGNATURE

DEANNE MCKEOWN has lived most of her life in Arizona where she finds inspiration for her sculpture in high desert wildlife and the native cultures of the Southwest that surround her. Many of her pieces are based on ancient folklore and magic. She frequently makes humorous or social comment through animal characters who become metaphors for human thought and behavior. Her work is frequently juried into national and international exhibitions and is included in many private and museum collections. DEANNE McKEOWN www.mckeowngalleries.com

Spirit Raven, Bronze, 22” x 15” x 13” $4,500

In one version of a Native American creation story, White Raven left the spirit world with a pebble in his beak, which he accidently dropped - this pebble became the created world.

I am fascinated by petroglyphs that are etched in stone throughout the Southwest and the wider world. Although much of their meaning is unclear, they remain messages traveling through time, or Postcards From the Past.
