Deer Woman
Her story often depicts her as the mortal victim of a savage rape. Her body found in the woods next to a sleeping fawn, who comforted her so she would not die alone. Her assailants went unpunished, so her wish for Justice was granted, and she was reborn as half human + half deer. She punishes men who harm women. Luring them to the woods to trample them.
I see her as a symbol of protection + a shape shifter. Watching over the many MMIW. Granting blessings to those who carry good medicine in their hearts and seeking justice for those who have been harmed. A delicate balance of love + vengeance.
10% of all profits from the Deer Woman print will be donated to National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC). NIWRC, is a Native led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to end violence against Native women and restore sovereignty for Tribal Nations to hold perpetrators accountable. NIWRC is located in Lame Deer, MT.
***PLEASE NOTE that the color is slightly different for each size of the prints. Two different papers were used. The 5” x 7” (the first photo shown (also taken outside on a sunny day)) is printed on Moab Lasal Exhibition Luster 300 Paper. The 8.5” x 11” (the second photo shown (taken outside on a cloudy winter day)) is printed on Velvet fine art paper. A textured matte, acid free, pH buffered, and 100% cotton rag material. Both prints are stunning, however the smaller print emphasizes the red color more.
Available as an 5” x 7” (small) or 8.5” x 11” (medium) or 13” x 19” (large) giclée print.
