“Council Collection #14” ~ Thomas B. Maracle
$325.00
“THE COUNCIL” COLLECTION #14 – “The Council” collection consists of sixteen original wood carvings created by the internationally acclaimed Mohawk sculptor, Thomas B. Maracle.
As a group, these sixteen remarkable carvings represent the power of intelligence, resourcefulness, and wisdom that is multiplied when people work together cooperatively for a common goal. As individual carvings, each of these sixteen evocative creations speaks its own truth and tells its own story. The faces that Thomas has revealed through the naturally-textured medium of wood are “looking inside” and listening to the voice of the Creator. Through reflecting deeply on what they hear, each of these individual council members knows exactly what they have to offer as their part of the group’s answer to any challenge that they may face.
All work comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Thomas B. Maracle – Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory
Born in Belleville, Ontario in 1949, Thomas B. Maracle is an award-winning stone sculptor and musician as well as a successful entrepreneur. A Native North American Mohawk, he is a citizen of the Six Nations and lives on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
Thomas has been involved with Native art since his childhood and was deeply influenced by the combined skills of his artisan parents, who created arts and crafts for their Native gift store.
About his inspirational parents, whom Thomas credits for much of his success, he says, “My father, Andrew Maracle Sr., was an international lecturer and historian focussing on the folklore, culture, and customs of Native North Americans. My mother, Lillian Maracle, was a gifted artist with pencil and brush. With this combination of talents flowing in my veins, I have an inherent foundation on which to develop my own abilities as a sculptor.”
Native Renaissance, located near where he lives and creates, is the outcome of all of Thomas’s devotion to his Native culture and art. Its art gallery, which features Thomas’s outstanding and prolific creations, also includes original sculptures, paintings, and limited editions of other acclaimed North American Native artists.
The creations of Thomas are prized components of collections throughout Canada and many other parts of the world–including England, France, Germany, and the United States, just to name a few.
