“Spirit Doll 27 ~ Thomas B. Maracle
$350.00
SPIRIT DOLL # 27 – CORN HUSK/STONE- $350.00
The Spirit Dolls of Mohawk artist, Thomas B. Maracle, arise out of the mists of time and open our eyes to the powerful acts of the Creator which are around us all of the time—and are especially obvious in the birthing, growing, aging, and dying cycles of nature. These wispy, masked protectors are here to heal, to guide, and to guard those who respect in them the power to do so. To these people they bring new life and new joy.
When Thomas describes the Spirit Dolls coming through him at the time of their creation he says they feel like “a spark”… “a movement of mind and soul”… “a moment in time”.
All work comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Description
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.
